![]() ![]() Ever.I'm not even sure what else to say other than I thoroughly enjoyed this and I highly recommend it, especially if you're about to go off to college or are currently in college. Not only do I find the themes of this book incredibly important, but Aled and Frances' purely platonic friendship and the intense love they have for each other makes this possibly my favorite friendship I have ever read. It's about diverging from the path paved for you and doing something that truly makes you happy. It's about the academic pressure teenagers are put through to get into a good college in order to be as successful as possible, even if that means sacrificing their passions and everything that is important to them. Not only that, but I also think high school students about to go off to college and even people currently in college will relate to this book and find at least a small part of themselves in it.This is a beautiful story about friendship and finding your own path in life even if it differs from the path you were told you needed to take to succeed. What I can say is that this book and it's message is incredibly important to me. It also cut me deep.So, simply saying I enjoyed this doesn't really express my feelings adequately and I'm not sure if I even have the capacity to explain how much this book means to me. Alice’s first novel SOLITAIRE was published when she was nineteen. She has written four YA contemporary novels about teenage disasters. ![]() When it comes to Frances, my experience with high school and preparing for college was slightly less intense than hers but I still found myself relating to her experience a lot. Alice Oseman is an award-winning author, illustrator, and screenwriter, and was born in 1994 in Kent, England. When it comes to Aled, I can't relate to his relationship with his mother but I can DEFINITELY relate to his experience with being at university and some of the feelings he had for it, but mostly his reaction to being there. So, I'm just going to say this:I relate to Frances and Aled a lot and I have so much love for them and so many feelings about them. I've been thinking about what I want to say in my review for this book all day and honestly? I stayed up until 5 am this morning finishing this book and I still don't know how to put all my feelings into words.
