This book was interesting. The characters changed and blurred into one another. I love the inclusivity and thoughtfulness about angels religion and jimmy’s gender. Overall this book was great but could have some slight tweaks

I love Alice Oseman and her books always make me laugh! Out loud! This story is so relatable and sweet. It was interesting to read a book that acknowledges the psychology of fandom and the celebrities they’re centered around. It was light and hopeful even though it tackled tough topics in a real way - as Alice Oseman is so good at doing! Will always be excited to read more of their work.
