I wish I had this book in late middle school. I loved graphic novels and could have used a warm, loving, healthy coming of age gay romance book.

This book was so flipping cute!!! It's a quick read that is absolutely adorable and I would recommend it to anyone who likes lighthearted romances without all the sex stuff.

Been avoiding it for a long time, because I got the impression when it was first coming out that it was kinda a queer story written for straight people and most of the people who I saw talk about it seemed to be almost fetishizing the story.  But I ended up with a copy and it only took an hour to read, at max, and I'm very glad I did.  It's very sweet and cute and I felt that all my previous concerns weren't based in reality but rather some skewed reviews years ago.

So cute. I loved it. The format is perfect for the story, the characters are great and the plot is so cute and i very much enjoyed it. I gave it 4.5 stars because while i liked it I dont get the sense that I will think about or reread the book. Its cute and all, but I just dont think im ever going to get really attached to a graphic novel.
