Shes just like me for real

Bewertet: Buch (Taschenbuch)

It was the first book I read from the Alice Oseman books after I fell in love with Heartstopper. And I have to say I consumed it like it was a meal. I could not put it down and read nearly all of it in a free school period. I cried at the end, and mostly because I have never felt so seen in a character like Tori Spring; it felt like me in another universe. You follow Tori through her boring normal life until she meets a guy at her school who is new and is normally not the kind of person she enjoys being with, but she feels fascinated by his lifestyle, but she goes through her own struggles as well. If I had to recommend only one book from Alice Oseman, it would be this one.

Just existing, honestly

Tori Spring is easily one of my favorite characters in the Heartstopper Universe. She's sarcastic, observant, and kind of done with the world, but in a way that feels incredibly relatable. Her thoughts feel so genuine and I really appreciated that the book doesn't try to "fix" her or wrap everything up neatly. It lets her be complicated and messy, which makes her feel like an actual person instead of just a character.
