I Was Born for This by Alice Oseman

funny sad tense medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

I didn't expect to like this as much as I did; with Oseman's reputation being so strongly tied to the Heartstopper/Solitaire franchise, I was a little apprehensive about this. I didn't love the structure but that's a me thing rather than there being anything wrong with alternating chapters from two different POVs. This was a really good, insightful piece though and I'd actually recommend it very highly.
