“I appear to be experiencing a mid-life crisis at the age of nineteen. Or some kind of late-onset teenage angst. Essentially, just a big old pile of sad that’s been caused by various failures that I am responsible for due to being an absolutely pathetic mess of a human being.”

Review can also be found on my goodreads.

This is a 10k short story that Alice Oseman wrote on her blog in 2016 about her side characters, Becky Allen from Solitaire and Raine Sengupta from Radio Silence, and portrays them meeting on New Years and the rocky relationship they develop.

As someone who loves both Becky and Raine and wishes they had have gotten more in the respective books they appeared in, this was great. I loved their dynamic with each other so much and seeing where they (particularly Becky) are after their novels.

If you liked both of the books these characters appeared in (or even just liked the characters themselves) then I would recommend you check this out :)
