As a big heartstopper fan I flew through this, loved finding out about tori and Michael’s relationship after he was revealed in S3 of the show, but damn tori’s headspace is draining to be in. She is so negative. And I get it. There are people out there who do perceive the world like that, and she’s a teenager too which makes it infinitely more annoying. Yet somehow I still really loved the book.
