There is something to be said when a teenage romance becomes a heartwarming experience that feeds your souls and alleviates your worries.

Remaining true to its name, the sequel takes you on a fun filled journey while dealing with hefty topics like biphobia, eating disorders and asexuality. Ms.Oseman creates a world that is fraught with real problems; issues that teenagers face when they are coming to terms with their sexuality.
