@vivavaleria@eldritch.cafe on the mammooth site. Reading mostly wlw rom-coms, with the occasional exceptions. I try to rotate languages, but it isn't really easy to find queer romance books in other languages than English. Reviews and comments usually in the same language as the book.

Okay, maybe not obviously. In fact, this is the first Albertalli book that I actually like. But it is amazing, and I've read it in just two days.
Oh, btw, from the beginning it looks like this is a cheap girl-stumbles-into-the-wrong-conversation-and-jumps-to-conclusions-and-throws-away-everything plot - don't worry, it's not. It's really not :3
I also loved all the references to other sapphic authors. Casey McQuiston is named explicitely many times, and Imogen has three copies of One Last Stop in her bookshelf. The teacher is called Ms Dugan. And the book is dedicated to Sophie Gonzales. I love stuff like this, it's so cute. It's what I usually read the Acknowledgements chapters for (which I love).
