what people think alice oseman books are like: blushing awkward first meetings, little chaste first kisses, giggling teenage boys holding hands
what alice oseman books are actually like: hey what if your entire personality is actually a carefully constructed facade to make other people like you and to disguise the fact that you don't actually know who you are. if you stripped away all the walls, all the artificial things that you think make you up, what would be left? what would happen if you stopped living for other people and started living for yourself? is there even a person in there or just a gaping void with nothing left in it? wouldn't that be fucked up? do you even know yourself? do you even have a real personality anymore?

“Most adults see teenagers as confused kids who don't understand much, while they're the pillars of knowledge and experience and know exactly what is right at all times. I think the truth is that everyone in the entire world is confused and nobody understands much of anything at all.”

Angel and Jimmy
I was born for this is the most underrated Osemanverse novel and you can't convince me otherwise. I particularly love how it thematizes religion and faith (which is weirdly underrepresented in YA) as well as anxiety, true friendship, love, growth and courage.
I could literally reread it 10000000 times and more.
So here, I give you Angel (or Fereshteh) and Jimmy.
