REVIEW

It's interesting to see the ways in which the graphic novel differs from the Netflix adaptation.

While the graphic novel has the same main plot points, the Netflix adaptation delves just a little deeper--fleshing out scenes and characters, heightening tension, adding dimensions to some characters and removing other characters completely.

Although they are admittedly much less complex, I prefer the graphic novel rendition of both Darcy and Tau. Tau, in particular, is more sympathetic in this version, which my soft li'l heart appreciates.

I recognize Charlie and Nick are the protagonists of this story, and so it makes webcomic sense that they would be the only fleshed-out characters, but a large part of me is hoping that, at some point, Oseman shifts focus to some of the other characters (I'm looking at you, Elle and Tau) in both the graphic novels and the show.

Sweet queer fluff. Didn't end on a cliffhanger this time either. A nice easy read.

NICK AND CHARLIE HAVE GOTTEN SO MUCH MORE COMFORTABLE TOGETHER. THE CONSTANT KISSES.
🦋 BUTTERFLIES IN MY STOMACH ALL THE TIME!!! 🦋
WHY are they just so cute 🥺

And Nick came out to his mum 🥺 that was just so touching... So... Lovely and sweet 🥺 Ms Nelson is just so adorable! And their relationship is just SO CUTE!! 😍 AND lastly when Nick was whining and pouting about how Charlie couldn't follow them to Menorca was just ABSOLUTELY A HEARTSTOPPER!! (no pun intended, it just... came out that way 😭)

I want more! GIVE ME MORE!!
