Perhaps the casual writing adds to the realism of the teenage experience, but it’s too stripped down for my personal tastes, and I wonder if adding a little more flourish to the writing would have helped the story be more evocative and emotional without solely relying on content. The main reason why I’m not rating this 5 stars is because despite the content being very well done, I do not think the writing or prose is anything spectacular. Overall, this is a solid book that is sure to hit home for many teenagers. The pace throughout this book is nicely done with several points of tension throughout the story. The dialogue is organic instead of forced, the themes are universally relatable, and the purely platonic friendship is very genuine. The main reason why I’m not rating this I’m pleasantly surprised by how authentically Oseman portrays teenagers, academic pressure, fandom, and friendships.
