alice oseman is one of my favourite authors, and this book really consolidated that for me. from her 3 books, this one is my favourite so far (she just announced her 4th book).
there are some characters that you'll find that just speak to you, and seeing a lost 18 year old who uses her obsessions with pop-culture as a lifeline is definitely #relatable.
i also did not want to put it down. her writing just makes you fly from chapter to chapter. being obsessed in a book dealing with obsessions? bit cliche, but i'll allow it.
the representation is this book is also outstanding - alice does the representation that we have been wanting. it just is - it's not a plot point; characters/people just are diverse (a conversation she touches on briefly and very well,in this book).
the themes found in this book are also pretty well handled - fandom, fame, mental health.
much like radio silence, i would love to know a little bit more of what happens after, but alice seems to enjoy open ended endings. perhaps the rest is best left to fanfiction writers
