God I needed this book when I was a teen. The constant stressing over grades and the future? The feeling that getting into a good university was the most important thing in the world? The weight of expectations? Desperately looking at your life like "Why am I even doing this?" Relatable.

The dynamic between Frances and Aled is wonderful and Oseman makes it so incredibly easy to become invested in these characters. They're awkward, they're nerdy, they're indecisive and messy, there's just so much to unpack. What these characters face never feels overly dramatic, but incredibly genuine. I felt so much for Aled as everything seemed to come crashing down and he's just left in the rubble. 

It felt like such a genuine book and it's always a treasure to find those.
