funny, sweet and enjoyable! i love Becky Albertalli's writing and characters, and this book is no different. her dialogue is so sharp and witty. i really liked Amelia, although i wish we got a bit more introspection (although she is a very oblivious character, so that makes sense). the shipping/parasocial commentary was interesting and important, but I think the main friend group suffered a bit because of it. i loved seeing Imogen again :')
