I didn’t really have much expectations for this book but I really enjoyed it!!! Lister grew on me so much and they all deserve the world omg

I wish we could learn more about Jimmy and Lister’s relationship tho, but other than that this book needs more appreciation! Loved it!

Alice Osman is pure genius, I loved this book soo much! The panic attack scenes were so well written and the emotions felt so real they were flying off the page
