Description

The sensational new novel from Becky Albertalli, best-selling author of Simon vs the Homo Sapiens Agenda.

Imogen may be hopelessly heterosexual, but she’s got the World’s Greatest Ally title locked down. And when she visits her best friend, Lili, at college who is newly-out, newly-graduated, and newly thriving, with a cool new squad of queer college friends, no one knows that Imogen’s a raging hetero – not even Lili’s best friend, Tessa.

Of course, the more time Imogen spends with chaotic, freckle-faced Tessa, the more she starts to wonder if her truth was ever all that straight to begin with…

With an irresistible cast of characters, hugely funny and empathetic writing, and all of Becky Albertalli's trademark warmth and wit, Imogen, Obviously beautifully explores the nuances of sexuality, identity, and friendship – perfect for fans of Alice Oseman and Adam Silvera.

I loved this book so much! Becky Albertalli has perfectly captured the experience of what being queer and questioning is like for Imogen, a senior about to go to college falling for Tessa, Imogen’s best friend’s college friend.

Becky writes queer characters beautifully - I’d thoroughly recommend this.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher, as always.

Wow.
This feels like a deeply personal book and it hits hard.
The story's premise is simple but it's execution is exquisite. It felt like Becky Albertalli had reached into my head, pulled out all my thoughts, feelings and insecurities and slapped them onto a page in the most thoughtful, kind way.
Imogen is quiet, introspective, and a people pleaser. She's afraid of making a misstep in a world so chronically online that she feels afraid to live or express herself. It's a incredibly important discussion to have, and Albertalli does it with nuance and tact.
The cast of characters within this book are carefully curated and sing on the page. They're dynamic and exciting, and are all proudly themselves.
Imogen felt like me as a teen, and I'm so grateful for Becky Albertalli for telling her story, my story and so many other's stories for us.
