This is my favourite book of all time. The whole series of books is my all time favourite. All of the characters are my favourite. The way Alice osman potrayed the characters was so sweet.
This book hold a special place in my heart.
Obviously Nick and Charlie is my favourite couple.
The friendship between Charlie, Tao, Elle and Isaac was so heartwarming.
The tension between Charlie and Nick is so sweet to read.

I watched the show and absolutely adored it. I delayed reading the book because graphic novels are not always my cup of tea, because I feel they only graze the surface level when I want so much more. However, this one is something else. Without many words, it says so much and I adore it all.

The most adorable LGBTQ story I'v  read in a long time. Nick and Charlie are so lovable. I wish there was a book like this when I was a teen.
