From the first page, I was hooked. The writing is so lively and natural that reading it feels easy, like slipping into the main character’s head for a while. I aboslutely adored how the main character is written. He’s sharp, confident, and sometimes a little too sure of himself, but also full of doubts and insecurities. That mix makes him feel very real and just like the teenage boy he’s supposed to be. The way he goes from totally self-assured to questioning everything is super relatable and adds a lot of depth.
The humor is another big plus. I laughed out loud more than once. But it’s not just jokes — there are also some really heartfelt, emotional moments. The book captures what it feels like to be young, figuring out friendships, love, and who you really are, which makes it so easy to connect with.
If I had to nitpick, I’d say the writing got a little repetitive toward the end. And there’s one particular description that gets used a lot, which was kind of odd—but honestly, it didn’t take away from how much I enjoyed the book.
All in all, this was such a fun, charming read. I’d totally recommend it to anyone who loves character-driven stories with humor, heart, and a nostalgic feel. It’s a must-read for fans of Heartstopper!
