I really like how easy these books are to read: I was able to read this one in a day without any difficulty. This book covers Nick and Charlie falling in love and realizing that, which was super sweet. It was more of a slice-of-life kind of book, rather than a plot driven book, so it moved at a slower pace, but it was still fun to read. I liked getting to see more of Nick and Charlie's friends, as well as the progression of their relationship. This book does highlight more of the unrelatable parts (at least to me), of them being in high school/private school in England, but it's a fairly minor aspect of the story in general.

Like the previous one, this book tackles some important topics like realizing one's sexuality, bullying, and coming out. I think that the graphic format of this book allows for portrayal of things like bullying to be put in the forefront and make it more easily discussed, which is really cool.

Overall, this was a fun read, though I am rating it lower because there wasn't a lot of plot. Would still recommend though, and I'm excited to read the next book in the series!
