Most of the book I was cry laughing and there were times when I was reading next to my father and trying so hard not to laugh out loud. Unlike so many other authors who write contemporaries with a focus on teenagers, Alice Oseman understands how to write them realistic and not make them seem forced or it being obvious they were written by an adult. Setting aside the fact that she is an excellent writer and amazing storyteller, she understands teengers so well because she started writting at a very young age, publishing her first book when she was 18 I think and now she is still in her 20s! Nobody knew who made the podcast, but it was the voice of the narrator that got me addicted to the show – it has a kind of softness. It makes you want to fall asleep.
