Not 5 stars bc I'm a lesbian and it was too cisstraight for me sometimes but I liked it anyway! I still related to a lot of thing from both of them, I love them a lot (especially Marianne <3)
I don't really get the hype of this book, I somehow expected it to be really different and poignant but maybe it's only me idk!

Oh my GOOOOODDDDDDDD I loved it so much and I'm glad I read this book- I went through all emotions possible (I cried.), and I never had such a big smile finishing a book before, it made me so happy!!!??? 

I was so attached to the characters, especially Aled for some reasons,, he just gave me new purposes in my life, the motivation to embellish the universe that I've created and just create other things too?? I want to ramble in a podcast now!!

Apart from the fact that the cast of characters is diverse (finally omg!!!!! Some authors should take exemple), one other thing I'm really fond of about the book is Frances and Aled's relationship. It was so relatable and lovely to read, it was never implied that they might end up in a relationship and even refute that it'll happen (and I was still scared that it might be a thing, straight books traumatized me for life), unlike the majority of other books with a girl and a boy (well,, not in this one at least) as main characters.
Frances is fascinated by her best friend and love him deeply but in a platonic way, it hit me so badly and I'm just really happy to see representation like this, I wish I could see it more. 

Well, I really look forward to read other books written by Alice oseman!! :) (I could honestly rant for hours about this book but I'm gonna stop now lmao) 

To add something a teeny-tiny bit negative (well not really idk) I think it felt a bit rushed at the end- I just wanted something more, like a little scene with Carys and Aled talking maybe??

Anyway, it is one of my favourites books now!!

J'ai tellement aimé l'histoire et comment elle est racontée, l'écriture est super belle aussi c'était juste magique à lire. Et les personnages!!!!!!!! Ils ont l'air si humain, on a l'impression qu'ils étaient vraiment vivant (ce qui m'a d'autant plus détruite) honnêtement j'ai pas les mots,

à la fin le fait que Tom brise enfin le silence et parle à Patrick??? Après TOUT ce qu'il s'est passé et tout ce temps??? Et lise le manuscrit de Marion à voix haute????? Mais pitié faut pas me faire ça je pleure littéralement là mon COEUR EST EN MIETTE
