As usual, Alice Oseman delivers diverse, lighthearted, and deeply enjoyable plot and characters with a charming art style and fast-paced plot. This wasn't my favorite installment because it felt more like disjoint stories an plot elements than the full cohesive story I felt I experienced in earlier books. That's not to say I didn't love it - I really, really did - but I was left craving more.
Feeling bittersweet that there's only going to be one more volume, but I am excited to pick this up as a completed set once it's all out in paperback!
