What this book is about
Frances Janvier has been performing the role of model student her whole life—but her secret passion is fan art for the underground podcast Universe City. When she discovers that its creator is a boy at her school, her carefully constructed identity begins to come apart. Alice Oseman's contemporary YA explores academic pressure, friendship, and identity with warmth and authenticity; LGBTQ+ themes including asexuality and bisexuality are woven naturally throughout.
