Pretty mediocre for me. Ace rep is pretty rare tho so i'm glad Alice Oseman wrote an AroAce character (which is even more rare) but i think it wasn't done in an interesting way.you can argue that her sexual/romantic identity doesn't have to be interesting and i get it. She is valid, and so is her experience but it's a work of fiction and i wanted the plot and the characters to be more engaging.Unfortunately it didn't quite hit the mark for me.▪︎I appreciated the diversity of the cast.▪︎Enjoyed the sex positivity since it could've been percieved a certain way by the main character (as she does not vibe with it).▪︎The side couple's "conflict" was very much a no for me even though their energy was great together.▪︎ Jason is a precious PRECIOUS friend Georgia better treat him with damn respect▪︎ I realised that loving side characters more than the main one is very on brand for me when it comes to Osemanverse. Like Jason and Sunil and Aled???? (And if 2 out of 3 are ace what about it?? Wanna fight?) ▪︎Jason is the one heterosexual man who deserves rights▪︎putting Sunil there just so he could teach Georgia about asexuality in length was a bit much for me.▪︎ I was thinking maybe writing middle grade can actually turn out very well for Alice Oseman. NOTHING WRONG WITH THE YA SHE WRITES but i just feel like the way she does it can do so much for a middle grade/ younger YA audience.That was it. Got a bit ranty.If you made it all the way through, here have a strawberry
