I loved this sequel as much as I loved the first book 'How to be A Normal Person'. It was lovely to get to know Josy more, seeing as he is such a wonderful person but it was also awesome to meet all the other characters from the first book again and to see how they are doing. Again I loved the asexual and demisexual representation as well as in this book the mental health representation.

I liked this better than the first book. It had such a nice set of characters, most from the first book (How to Be a Normal Person) and I absolutely loved it. There were so many relatable things in this book, the anxiety and depression rep was well done. The Three Queens were as iconic as ever and not to mention Gustavo being a mood the entire time and I am here for it. All the queer rep was done much better than the last book. Plus the whole No-Thanks Giving was really nice to read it needs to be a thing, I really liked it. And lastly, Mitzi needs a raise tbh.
