I didn't expect to like this as much as I did; with Oseman's reputation being so strongly tied to the Heartstopper/Solitaire franchise, I was a little apprehensive about this. I didn't love the structure but that's a me thing rather than there being anything wrong with alternating chapters from two different POVs. This was a really good, insightful piece though and I'd actually recommend it very highly.
