I Was Born for This

“Most adults see teenagers as confused kids who don't understand much, while they're the pillars of knowledge and experience and know exactly what is right at all times.I think the truth is that everyone in the entire world is confused and nobody understands much of anything at all.”rating - 4/5
If you read for escapism, Alice Oseman's books aren't for you.
Honestly though, her books are the closest thing to real life i've found. The way she somehow manages to make characters on paper feel so real and authentic has always fascinated me.
I've always loved reading fiction because for once, the problems aren't mine. So naturally, I've strayed away from contemporary fiction that isn't romance. This book made me reconsider though. Hit a little close home, but it does a great job at discussing important topics while also having beautiful writing and diverse characters.

I annotated this for my bestfriend and we started talking online because of a boyband, so that was fun. There was A lOt of highlighting and capitalization. absolutely recommend. go pick it up rn.
