Really sweet story of a young adult coming to terms with their identity. Lots of friends and helpful people along the way.  
Audiobook narrated by Billie Fulford-Brown.

Very cute, very swoon. I do wish that more YA authors would do more showing than telling

This book is love and hate for me. At the beginning I didn’t like it. I didn’t like Georgia. But going on with the story and knowing her cousin and family I understood why she used to think like that, she was raised with that idea on mind. The ending is the most beautiful thing ever. My absolutely favourite part was Rooney speech to Georgia, that is what friendship I want ( “Rooney dropped to her knees. ‘Georgia, I am never going to stop being your friend. And I don’t mean that in the boring average meaning of ‘friend’ where we stop talking regularly when we’re twenty-five because we’ve both met nice young men and gone off to have babies, and only get to meet up twice a year. I mean I’m going to pester you to buy a house next door to me when we’re forty-five and have finally saved up enough for our deposits. I mean I’m going to be crashing round yours every night for dinner because you know I can’t fucking cook to save my life, and if I’ve got kids and a spouse, they’ll probably come round with me, because otherwise they’ll be living on chicken nuggets and chips. I mean I’m going to be the one bringing you soup when you text me that you’re sick and can’t get out of bed and ferrying you to the doctor’s even when you don’t want to go because you feel guilty about using the NHS when you just have a stomach bug. I mean we’re gonna knock down the fence between our gardens so we have one big garden, and we can both get a dog and take turns looking after it. I mean I’m going to be here, annoying you, until we’re old ladies, sitting in the same care home, talking about putting on a Shakespeare because we’re all old and bored as shit.”)
This book make me question a lot about myself, I didn’t know an answer yet but it’s ok.
As Sanil one said “You're gonna be OK. There's nothing you have to do except be.”

It was something adults said all the time. You'll change your mind when you're older. You never know what might happen. You'll feel different one day. As if we teenagers knew so little about ourselves that we could wake up one day a completely different person. As if the person we are right now doesn't matter at all.
