i adored this book for so many reasons. i, of course, loved the asexual and aromantic representation. this is the most I've ever seen a story dive into either topic and it is done so beautifully and I loved every second of it. I love that there are other characters in the story that help georgia figure out this part about her. i love that her friends are confused by the way that she is feeling and just, love and accept her regardless (along with helping her figure it out). 

i really liked all of the side characters in this book. rooney, pip, jason, sunil. amazing, exquisite. chef's kiss. 

I do wish that we had gotten to know more about jason (as he is Georgia's other best friend) but I understand why this wasn't exactly possible. 

i love how this story showed how love can be found in other ways than romantic. rooney and georgia are soulmates- but platonically. and I loved seeing this explored. love doesn't have to be found just in romantic relationships. 

i disliked the overly dramatic fight between the main friend group but... for the sake of drama I guess ,,,,,

I love the idea of this book. I love this author. I loved reading this book. I love everything about it. im just happy that there's good aroace representation out there. I never had this while I was figuring myself out. and I'm just glad that this exists for all of the queer kids growing up. thank you alice oseman for everything that you do.
