Loved this funny, sweet, protagonist-is-the-last-to-know teen romance. I had forgotten how good Albertalli is at creating teen characters. Amelia and her friends are so real, it seems like you could look up from the page and see them right in front of you, talking about nothing and everything and affectionately making fun of each other.

Thank you to Netgalley and HarperCollins for providing me with an advance copy of this audiobook.

Very cute, but in that bubbly teenage way that Albertalli does so well. I like the way this book shows some of the dangers of parasocial relationships but doesn’t pathologize them - obsession is a natural human thing, of course, and teaches us so much about what we like and want out of real relationships. Which of course is what is happening here.

This book is SO queer and so adorable and so full of hilarious banter and moments that made me laugh out loud, but also full of tenderness and sweetness and discovery. Albertalli has such a special way of talking about queerness - it is so relatable and so true to my personal experience. Sometimes you don't know you're queer UNTIL YOU KNOW, but there's no wrong way to discover new parts of yourself. This is a book I wish I had as a teen.

This book celebrates queerness and the awkwardness of being a teen in the internet age. It celebrates that queerness can be messy and weird and comes with lots of questions! It is so validating to read books like this.

I also loved the cameos from characters from KATE IN WAITING and IMOGEN, OBVIOUSLY!

The narrator. Caitlin Kinnunen, captured Amelia's essence perfectly and had me laughing out loud! Highly recommend the audio format for this one!

This was a fun, YA road trip bisexual disaster type romcom that sees a group of friends travelling to see Amelia's bisexual influencer/youtuber/idol, Walter. There's lots of shenanigans along the way, flashbacks to past interactions between Amelia and Walter and some new revelations about her feelings for her newly single best friend. Lighthearted, sweet, good on audio with some Jewish rep thrown in, sibling relationships and a great queer friend group.

Recommended for fans of authors like Sophie Gonzales or Dahlia Adler. While I didn't like this one as much as Imogen, obviously mainly because the romance was more of a backburner part of the story, it was still an enjoyable read/listen. Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an early digital and audio copy in exchange for my honest review!

This was a super cute, very nostalgic young adult romance. It really had me reminising about being a teen and having a celebrity crush and the way we project emotions onto celebrities. Many times Amelia had the idea that if she met her crush, maybe she could get him to feel that same way, which really reflects the teenage experience of crushing on a celebrity. The side characters were great and it was overall a fun and nostalgic read.

This is a solid friends-to-lovers romance with discussion on queerbaiting and biphobia and toxic fandom kind of shoehorned in. I liked this a lot, but I feel like there wasn't as much There as Albertalli's prior books.
