The first Alice Oseman book I ever read before Heartstopper became a cultural phenomenon, and I have to say it converted my into a huge Oseman fan. The writing was breezy and easy to follow, the characters felt very true to their ages, and their development was inspiring. Aled and Frances were good protagonists, with a solid supporting cast to back them.

The book came at a time in my life when I had also just finished school and was unsure of my next steps, and whether I wanted to pursue higher education or not. I think I really connected with the plot because of that. And as always with Oseman, she's developed a fantastically diverse cast. Always a plus!
