First thoughts: Technically, I’ve already read this! But my first thoughts still stand – this book is an exciting read focusing on fandom from both sides. There is brilliant representation, wonderful characters, and the voice is incredibly natural. I can’t wait for everyone to read this book and to delight at how well Alice Oseman writes her characters.
