It dealt closely with sexuality in places, with one of the characters discussing demisexuality which I was surprised by and absolutely warmed my heart, identifying as demi myself. It felt so amazing to have such a diverse cast of characters with different friendships and relationships, with no relationship being the focus of the story. I love how Oseman decided to write about a friendship and face it up front, even addressing it in the book ( You probably think that Aled Last and I are going to fall in love or something. It is about friendship, not romance, which felt so refreshing. It is about how they find each other in a time when they both need somebody to save them.
This story follows Frances, the listener of a podcast, and Aled, the creator. I wonder- if nobody is listening to my voice, And they are broken, and they are emotional, and they are real. Oseman has a way of writing that has this raw and beautiful honesty, like the characters are speaking directly to you. Even the first hundred pages or so, I was unsure about it and how I would end up feeling about it by the end of the book.Īnd then I absolutely fell for it. I’ve heard mixed things about this and I was unsure how I would feel about it. This was my last Alice Oseman novel and I had no idea that I would fall in love with it the way I did. Will they have the courage to show everyone who they really are? Or will they be met with radio silence? In a world determined to shut them up, knock them down, and set them on a cookie cutter life path, Frances and Aled struggle to find their voices over the course of one life-changing year.
You probably think that they are going to fall in love or something. Frances Janvier spends most of her time studying.Įveryone knows Aled Last as that quiet boy who gets straight As.
