I need all of the platonic love stories!! Yall, the aroace rep in this book was fantastic! I especially loved that even though both Sophie & Jo are aroace, their experience with their identities was so different! And as an aroace person myself, I could see myself in both of them but my experience with my identity has also been so different than them as well. And on top of the aroace rep, there was also so much different rep with all of the side characters & with the stories that came from the Wanda & Wendy accounts! Also, the advice aspect of the book reminded me of another book that I adore (but it’s an smp title so I won’t name it) and I loved that!! The overall plot of the story wasn’t my favorite, it just stressed me out a little lol but besides that I loved it and I think it’s gonna be an important addition to aspec fiction 💜
