It's about young people struggling with family and school and friends and sexualities and university applications and was just super relatable, especially because I've never read a UK set book where the characters are in the in between stage of high school and uni that reflected the situation so well.Helia (Rose Quartz Reads)https://www.blogger.com/profile/00829298596495957165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3313445118172324822.post-62743045736118375522016-09-16T13:23:44.245+01:002016-09-16T13:23:44.245+01:00Absolutely!
