I’m so baffled by the people who say Alison Oliver and Joe Alwyn don’t have any chemistry. Anytime they’re onscreen together I feel so overwhelmed that my heart starts pounding.

Nick + Frances || Leave your Lover
We should leave our lovers so that we can choose each other
“Do you remember at Melissa’s birthday after we kissed? I stayed in my room. I waited for you for hours. I felt paralyzed by the idea that you were close by and you might come back. I have this impulse to be available to you all the time.”
“Nick, come and get me.”
I enjoyed Conversations with Friends, it was quite thought provoking on what relationships and love entail for different people. The open ending as well means I suppose how we all view relationships and love will determine how we will see these characters future, whether they would go onto be a unit of 4 with Nick/Frances, Frances/Bobbi and Melissa/Frances... I mean hey, Melissa and Bobbi has amazing chemistry too so it really could be a 4!

It's crazy how Alice creates the most diverse but also relatable characters. There are characters of different sexual orientations, different races, genders, mental illnesses, family life and eating disorders. They're all so different??? but there's something that binds them all together. For example, I relate to Tao but I also relate to Georgia and I relate to Tori but I relate to Frances but I relate to Lister but I... They're all different, but there's something so familiar about them and you can see similar traits in each of them in yourself. I feel like a collage or mosaic of my favourite characters. Not just the four of them, but all the characters, like Aled Last, Micheal Holden and Elle Argent. Alice Oseman's characters radiate comfort and warmth.
Her books give the same vibes as curling up in you're cozy messy bed after an exhausting day at school or work, buried under a mountain of blankets when it rains or snows outside. The months between September and February when the sun sets early and you get to wear extra layers of clothes or that oversized black hoodie. Returning to your room filled with artifacts from your childhood, old books you haven't touched in like four years, book reports and DIY science projects from 3rd grade and movie poster filled haven where you could leave the stresses of the real world behind.
All the lights are off, except for those fairy string lights above your bed. You're sipping a hot cup of tea or hot chocolate, rereading your old favourite books you loved as a teen and watching that old favourite film that you've seen so many times that you can remember the plot and all the dialogue to, but you watch it anyway. Listening to that carefilly curated 90s indie rock playlist from 2019 to drown out and forget the world outside. Staying up late, the only light being the screen of your laptop or phone, reading fan fiction on AO3 while you're whole family's asleep. That warmth and authenticity that you don't find much in modern media. The nostalgia. How she accurately portrays what actual teenagers are like, both the pros and cons. Even if you're reading it for the first time, @chronicintrovert books have the feeling of returning home.

The feeling when you know you have so many unread books, but you just want to read Alice Oseman's books all over again.

I fully believe that 5 years down the line Nick and Frances are happily married with an adopted child. I’m too tired to go into it but I do.

when Nick and Charlie are in the Louvre, Nick says "mon amour" so as well as communicating through Nellie that he loves Charlie, he says "my love" in French. poor Charlie doesn't understand 😔
