If you follow Becky Albertalli on Instagram or other socials then you fully understand what this story is about. It’s a statement. A clear statement. Before I started reading, I already assumed this would be a very personal story, and the author’s note and the book are prove of that. Becky just pours her heart out, lets us feel her struggles, and gives her middle finger to all those people who bullied her and still bully her.

I’m not going to say a lot more. If you’re a Becky Albertally fan, you’ll definitely love this story. If you’re one of these bullies, I’d suggest to read Imogen’s story. It might surprise you. It’s easily readable, captivating, full of banter, and very vivid. Just dive into it and I hope that you’ve learned something after you finish it.

I received an ARC from HarperCollins Children’s Books and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Jay I honestly didn’t know any of this. Picked up the book on Audible because it looked interesting and I like the narrator. I absolutely fell in love with this story and felt so so much of myself in Imogen. Now I’m off to check out literally all of Becky’s other books.
