Y'all... this one took me by surprise. Alice Oseman is not just a cutesy romance writer! She got into parasocial relationships and the horrors of celebrity and how it affects our mental health and relationships with each other. I haven't seen fiction ever try to explore this, let alone in young adult. I'm honestly so impressed.
