- And there I was, only a few days ago, talking about how I don't get new favourites anymore. All I needed to do was read Ophelia After All.
This book was amazing.
- At its core it's about a teenage girl, Ophelia, coming to terms with who she is, and being scared that her friendships and family relationships will change if they ever find out she isn't the boy-crazy Ophelia they're all convinced she is.
It's about questioning who you are, especially your sexuality, questioning your friendships and being scared of what lies beyond high school, being afraid of change, but learning to accept and embrace it all.
And it was beautifully done.

- Ophelia is a flawed teenager, who goes through so much learning, so much growth. She felt so real and relatable.
- No one was perfect (except maybe for Wes, who is now clearly my absolute favourite fictional person), they all acted like teenagers going through high school, but their bonds and their different types of friendships were so touching and, once again, felt so real.

It left me crying with emotion, a book I want to go back to the start, read again, and annotate completely.
Thank you Racquel Marie.
