Everything I love about a Becky Albertalli book: LGBTQ+ characters, emotional rollercoaster, fantastic friendships, discourse to make you think and a huge dollop of hope and happiness! 

I adored Imogen from the very beginning. The best friend you could wish for and the greatest ally to her queer friends… until she starts to wonder is she only an ally? This book took us on a real emotional rollercoaster as Imogen peels back her own layers, faces self-doubt and doubt from (some) peers but ultimately sees her accept herself and celebrate who she is. 

Tess is adorable. Lili is wholesome. Edith is the best little sister. Gretchen I found difficult but also understand that her character was likely designed to create the conflict needed in the book. 

This book talked to me on such a deep level and I loved it completely. The author’s note at the beginning is a must read. 

Thank you to Harper Collins UK, Becky Albertalli and NetGalley for my early review copy in exchange of a fair and honest review.
