Overview

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' wishes that she attend a "real" university, rather than a liberal arts school) and has long accepted her aromantic and asexual identities. Despite knowing she'll never fall in love, she enjoys learning about relationships and putting that research to use to help people. And what better way to do that than by running an Instagram account that offers advice to the students at her college, somewhere in between classes, morning runs, and extracurriculars? No one except her roommate knows that she's behind the incredibly popular "Dear Wendy" account.

Meanwhile, Joanna "Jo" Ephron is also a first-year student at Wellesley but when they create the account "Sincerely Wanda" to show one of their roommates why she needs to dump her boyfriend, they don't expect it to amount to anything more. After all, Jo's account isn't meant to be serious--not like Dear Wendy's. But it seems more and more students appreciate her humorous answers to followers' dilemmas, and she may end up encroaching on Wendy's territory a little. And now the two accounts might have a rivalry of sorts? 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, and her few friends finding The One and forgetting her!

Tensions are rising online, but Sophie and Jo start getting closer in real life, especially after they realize their shared aroace identity. 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?

With its exploration of a-spec identities, college life, and more, this platonic comedy, perfect for fans of Netflix's The Half of It and Alice Oseman's Loveless, is ultimately a love story about two people who are not--and will not--be in love!
