So sweet. So adorable. It is light and soft and so benevolent. It's not naive - some bits are actually really deep/dark but they're very well handled!
It's simple but that's what makes all its charm. It makes you miss/want love like that.

This was a re-read in preparation for the TV adaptation releasing TONIGHT!!! As expected, I gave it five stars again. This first instalment was lighthearted and so adorable. I also love the way Oseman arranges their panels.
