 - IMOGEN, OBVIOUSLY is an enormous hug for people who took awhile to figure themselves out. For me. I was Imogen. Now, it was 20 years ago and I did not have all the language she does in the book, but the confusion and feelings are the same.
- I adored Imogen and her friends. They all felt so real - finding themselves and freedom for the first time in their lives and spreading joy and chaos while doing it.
- I just...I can’t even put into words what it means to have this book exist in the world. My heart hurts for Albertalli to have the experience to write it, but I’m so glad she was able to.
