I read this book in all of one hour, and while being such a quick read I really enjoyed the space that was given  expand on topics explored more briefly in the Heartstopper series. It was great to be able to see the Spring Siblings dynamic, and singular point of views. 
Personally, I find the style of writing that Alice Oseman has is one that is easy to follow yet creates incredibly complex characters and plot. This rings true throughout this book.

Cutest thing ever!
Teared up here and there but there were happy tears. 
So cheesy but somehow realistic. 
There were scenes that were dark and tackled heavy topics like mental illness and eating disorders. Oseman represented it with respect though and this taught me a thing or two about these topics. 
Sidenote: Oliver and Harry must be protected at all times.
