Dear Wendy's Sophie and Jo two aromantic and asexual students at Wellesley College engage in
an online feud while unknowingly becoming friends in real life in this dual POV Young Adult
contemporary debut from Ann Zhao Sophie Chi is in her first year at Wellesley College
(despite her parents' pleas that she attend a "real" university rather than a liberal arts
school) and has long accepted her aromantic and asexual (aroace) identities. She knows she'll
never fall in love herself but she enjoys running an Instagram account that offers
relationship advice to students at Wellesley. No one except her roommate can know that she's
behind the incredibly popular "Dear Wendy" account. When Joanna "Jo" Ephron (also a first-year
aroace student at Wellesley) created their "Sincerely Wanda" account it wasn't at all meant to
take off or be taken seriously-not like Wendy's. But now they might have a rivalry of sorts
with Wendy's account? Oops . As if Jo's not busy enough having existential crises over gender
if she'll ever truly be loved and whether her few friends will find The One and forget her!
While tensions are rising online Sophie and Jo grow closer in real life especially once they
realize their shared aroace identity and start a campus organization for other a-spec students.
Will their friendship survive if they learn just who's behind the Wendy and Wanda accounts?
Exploring a-spec identities college life and more this platonic comedy perfect for fans of
Alice Osman's Loveless is ultimately a love story about two people who are not-and will
not-be in love!
