Dear Wendy

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 ZhaoSophie 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. While knowing she’ll never fall in love, she enjoys running an Instagram account that offers relationship advice to students at Wellesley. No one except her roommate knows 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 be serious or take off like it does—not like Wendy’s. But now they might have a rivalry of sorts with that account? Oops. As if Jo’s not busy enough having existential crises over gender, the fact that she’ll never truly be loved or be enough, or her few friends finding The One and forgetting her!While tensions are rising online, Sophie and Jo are starting to get closer in real life, bonding over their shared aroace identities. As their friendship develops and they work together to start a campus organization for other a-spec students, can their growing bond 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 Oseman’s Loveless, is ultimately a love story about two people who are not—and will not be—in love!
