I love this series so much. I love how diverse the characters are. I love how Nick cares so deeply for Charlie and was there for him throughout the book.

My favorite installment in the series so far, emotional and angsty, this had much needed growth as well as conflict that really makes it stand apart in the series.
I really love how much character development happened, how many conversations, as well as boundaries were established. I was worried in past books that they were getting a little codependent, but this one was just so GOOD. All the topics and issues discussed were just done so well, I really feel like we get the most character growth and complexity in this one. In the past volumes Nick and Charlie didn't feel as well rounded and fleshed out, in this one they shine!
I can't wait to read the next volume when it comes out.

Love it! I'm glad they discussed mental illness and how love can't fix everything. 
Hooray for family, friends, and therapists!

Gosh my heart hurts. So nice to see a teen romance that doesn’t have love fixing everything though. I love these two.

This was quite the adventure! I am so glad Charlie sought help and took care of his mental health. Seeing that he took the initiative to seeking help and stayed at a psychiatric hospital and how Nick does his own research and approaches the subject in a sensitive manner is such a great example of a healthy romantic relationship and good representation of how this situation can be handled. I like how Nick's mom understands him and his want to help Charlie, even offering to help Nick find a way to start the conversation.
