A very well written book, as to expect from Alice Oseman.
I really like the friendship/relationship between Michael and Tori. Beside the dramatic self-deprecating bits which made it more difficult than it had to be. I also (mostly) adore Tori's and Charlie's relationship. They care deeply about each other even though they don't/can't always act on it.
Overall it's a good book with good characters, it's just not entirely for me. Too dark, too dramatic, maybe because I can't relate.
