Dear Wendy
by Ann Zhao
have you ever read a novel that makes you feel so seen and so full of joy that you want to hug it when you're done? DEAR WENDY is one of those for me, and it's one of my favorite young adult books i've read in a long time.
DEAR WENDY follows two aroace wellesley college students—sophie and jo—who are locked in an intense online rivalry via their anonymous wellesley love advice instagrams while unknowingly becoming best friends in real life. with its beautiful, nuanced, and much-needed discussions about asexuality and aromanticism; its emotional explorations of social expectations surrounding gender and sexuality; and its gorgeous affirmations about all the kinds of love we can experience, DEAR WENDY is one of the most honest, inclusive, and heartwarming novels i've read in ages. i can't begin to tell you how incredibly refreshing it is to read a book about a-spec characters who are never once pressured to change, and whose story reads like a classic rom-com for platonic love. i've never read anything quite like this, and i truly can't recommend it enough.
this book means the world to me, and will undoubtedly mean as much to so many other readers, no matter if they're questioning, out, simply haven't learned about asexuality and aromanticism, or if they're just looking for a beautiful love story. i can't wait for this story to hit shelves, and if any of you see me at work or ask me for recommendations next spring, trust me—i will be shoving this book into your hands.
