"Zhao curates a realistic setting at a womens college full of angsty queer students caught in the throes of romance, self-doubt, and self-discovery, culminating in a gently sweet aro-ace rom-com and a raw and emotionally resonant debut." --Publishers Weekly, starred review "This book is a love letter to chosen family, platonic love, and the aromantic and asexual communities. If you have ever wished that more romances were about friends, or if youve ever found yourself thinking that Jo March from Little Women was probably aromantic, then you need to do yourself a favor and pick it up." --Booklist, starred review "Jo, Sophie, their friends, and their family members all have nuanced identities and strong relationships that enrich the narrative and worldbuilding. The no romo love story aroaces have been waiting for." --Kirkus "A fun, a-spec rom-com steeped in the Wellesley College setting, perfect for fans of Kacen Callender or Mason Deaver." --School Library Journal "The platonic love story of my dreams! DEAR WENDY fluently speaks the language of contemporary aroace spaces and celebrates the healing power of community and understanding for those of us who can feel deeply alone in our life experience.
