Imogen, Obviously is a sensitive exploration of one girl's struggle to work out her sexual identity. Surrounded by queer friends and on the cusp of starting life as an adult at college, Imogen connects with Tessa a beautiful, confident lesbian, but begins to question whether she is just appropriating her feelings to try and fit in.
Albertalli treads a fine line avoiding being too preachy, allowing the numerous characters to have a unique 'lived' perspective allowing room for a discussion of philosophical weight and true empathy.
A touching story of friendship, discovery and honesty.
