But this book, for me, really was a love letter to mental health awareness and how important it is to always put your mental health first. Yes, it must be overwhelming and at times frightening for the famous person who cannot see what it is that makes them so special but for a fan it is the feeling of belonging. The discussion of fandom in this book is also so painfully accurate, and reminded of my own teenage experience in the tumblr days or yore.

Here you’ll find anything and everything friendship, bookish and gay, with maybe some writing and film reviews thrown in. Featuring a vibrant rainbow design, and our super-sized Q logo, you won't find a more stylish way to make a statement.I’ve had a lifetime of projecting myself on cis characters because there was (almost) never an option of representation in fiction, but Lister also represents another side of me that isn’t that far from where I stand. I used to try to get people to talk about The Ark with me – my school friends, my parents, my older brother – but no one really cared. He tries, he tries so hard, but there are slips and cracks and not the best coping methods he could use.

After how much I adored Radio Silence, I hoped I was going to love Alice Oseman’s next book, and… unsurprisingly, it was fantastic.

The most special message, however, was this: commit to believing in yourself completely and learn how to love and practice your own self-worth. This story delves into a lot of important discussions about identity and self-discovery and mental illness and I want to delve into each topic so buckle up! Lister is aware of his problems though so I hope Rowan and Jimmy will help him to find his way back into a life without alcohol. It’s just a shame that recently everything in his life seems to have turned into a bit of a nightmare.
