Beautifully written. It reminded me of a way better version of Fangirl and it definitely benefited from the two central characters staying as friends (there ARE romance elements in the story, but they are secondary). Everything flowed really well and I resonated so much with Frances and Aled that I couldn't put this book down. That said, the conclusion didn't stick the landing for me; it was good, but the execution was really odd and felt a bit too melodramatic/unbelievable for my tastes. Still, I genuinely loved this book.
