She knows she’ll never fall in love, but she enjoys running an Instagram account that offers relationship advice to students at her school. But no one except her roommate knows that she’s behind the incredibly popular “Dear Wendy” account.When Joanna “Jo” Ephron (also a first-year student and aroace) created their “Sincerely Wanda” account, it wasn’t at all meant to be taken seriously. But now they might have a rivalry of sorts with "Dear Wendy"? Oops. As if Jo’s not busy enough having existential crises over gender identity, whether she’ll ever truly be loved, and the possibility of her few friends finding The One then forgetting about her!While tensions are rising online, Sophie and Jo grow closer in real life, especially once they realize how much they have in common. Will their friendship survive if they learn just who’s behind the Wendy and Wanda accounts?This book is a work of fiction, but it deals with real issues including depictions of aphobia (discrimination against asexual and aromantic individuals), anxiety/stress from negative social media attention, frank discussions of sex and sexuality, and various diaspora feelings.
