A masterpiece. Alice Oseman has never let me down. They handled all of the heavy topics beautifully, as always. I wish I could write this more elaborately but in truth I just want to scream at the top of my lungs and force everyone to read this book. I cried. I love every single one of those sad, squishy characters. I hope they have a wonderful life. Cannot wait for whatever Alice Oseman does next because I know it’s gonna be amazing. If you do anything at all today, read this book.whatamidoing_rn's review against another edition

I think I enjoyed Angel/Fereshteh's pov more than Jimmy's, though Jimmy was an interesting character too. I was a bit frustrated by how he was treated by Rowan throughout, and how Rowan acted in general (and I don't think this resolved itself by the end of the book).
This perhaps could work well as a trilogy instead of one book so that the characters and relationships could be more fleshed out? With Juliet and Angel too. But that's just a thought. Still really loved it :)
Lister was so interesting as a character and I would love to read a book about him !!
Also love how seamless/"not a big thing" the aspects of gender, race and religion felt in this. Love love love reading trans characters (feels a bit surreal) and love to read non white main characters.
Read it in 3 days without really stopping so that's saying something!!
Listened to this in audiobook form on Borrowbox.
