I thought this book was a little bit longer than it could have been, and I didn’t really relate to any character that much. But it was nice to have some bi representation! 
Some of the plot kind of annoyed me though
like, Aled completely blamed Frances for everyone finding out who radio city was, but I personally didn’t think it was her fault, he was the one who posted the episode and Daniel literally told (at least) one person and didn’t get the same treatment??? That was really annoying. Also I’m sorry, but Carys kind of annoyed me, just in general. Also the plot twist about her being February Friday was sooo obvious. Also why did Carys send Aled a letter when she knew what her mum was like? Why didn’t she just find Aled on Facebook? And I really would have liked to know how he could just go live with Frances at the end when his mum lived right across the street. There is no way that woman would let that be. So yeah, a little more closure on that at the end would have been nice!

So yeah, I found it okay but not amazing.
