Trigger and content warnings for talk of mental illness, implied depression, implied suicidal thinking, parental abuse, physical abuse, extreme invasions of privacy on social media and the internet, very hateful comments to a creator on the internet, and death of a pet. This book is for all my fellow sarcastic, goal-oriented overachievers with unreliable self-esteem, oddly specific obsessions, and unrealistic dreams. They manage to find his room and Frances goes in alone so they don't overwhelm him and she finds the room in an absolute mess with piles of hate-mail on his desk from fans who are angry at him for ending Universe City.

I’m outraged and furious about this behaviour from a person that should lover her child unconditionally! We have a demisexual character, a bisexual character, a gay character and more and I was just here for all of it! 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.She tries to continue about her life after this and she tries to contact Aled again but he doesn't reply. Also, I just wanted to mention that this book had so many great recommendations for music artists (London Grammar, Nero, Madeon. And though he’s not even the narrator, Abel’s paralell journey around his own abuse is equally amazing. They keep on moving forward and shove you to the side because you make more mistakes than you should.

Firstly, everyone was just gonna get drunk, which I could do perfectly well by myself in my lounge while watching YouTube videos instead of having to worry about catching the last train home or avoiding sexual assault. It was slower to "get into" at first (than the novellas or Solitaire, where the familiar Tori, Charlie, and Nick are central). Frances, Aled and Daniel go back on the train while Carys stays with Raine to talk about University alternatives. At the same time, Frances begins to doubt how much Aled actually wants to go to university September and question her own reasons for working so hard for school. Our team is made up of book lovers who are dedicated to sourcing and providing the best books for kids.Even when Frances told her that she didn’t want to go to university she was totally okay with it and respected her daughter’s decision! I know he’s the silent, withdrawn and broody kind of type but a lot of his problems could have been tackled if he would have just talked about them. When she finds out the creator of it, Aled, is the guy who lives across the road from her she ends up becoming really good friends with him and the two's worlds kind of collide. Since then I found so many others, but Aled will always have a special place in my heart due to him being from my all time favourite book. I really felt while reading it that she uniquely understood the subject and that having a someone who had been gone from high school for too much longer wouldn't have felt so authentic.
