"An irresistible romcom that brings to life the UK university experience, whilst making the heart flutter."
Eternal optimist Mary-Elizabeth is going into her second year as a London uni student and she's ready to make the year count! As the wise agony aunt for Quad, the university magazine, she's confident in herself and hopeful for her own love-life. With eyes fixed on the magazine's handsome editor, Felix Balfour, Mary-Elizabeth is determined to woo him and enjoy a little no-strings fun.
Felix isn't quite the romantic hero she's hoping for though, and very soon Mary-Elizabeth's confidence and heart start to waiver. And when things go really wrong, she finds out how hard it can be to take your own advice. Will Mary-Elizabeth get her man or is she looking in entirely the wrong place?
Ask Me Anything is a wonderfully fun romance about university life, that handles some heavy storylines with a skilfully light touch. Rape, consent, cheating stepdads and mental health crises all feature, but Rutter manages to maintain an entertaining narrative voice that handles these issues responsibily, but without feeling we're being beaten over the head with rolled up copies of Quad.
Mary-Elizabeth is a character readers will love, from her dopamine dressing to exuberance for life, it's impossible not to fall in love with her. Though horrible Felix might prove me wrong! I particularly welcomed the fact she is a plus-size woman who is happy, healthy and confident in her body - still a rarity in YA fiction.
A perfect alternative to other more mature romcoms, mid-to-older teens will adore Ask Me Anything and be left thinking about it long after the last page. Here's hoping we see Mary-Elizabeth again for her third year!
A gorgeously sassy campus-set romcom, where problem pages and parties turn enemies to lovers.
