Nick and Charlie's relationship is rock solid at this point, so their will-they won't-they is no longer the focus, leaving room some more serious topics around mental health. Charlie struggles with disordered eating, while Nick struggles with how to help him. I think this book does a good job of separating the concepts of caring for someone who is having mental health problems, and being able to fix it. It never subscribes to or glamorizes that idea that a relationship can fix Charlie, but it also shows how Nick's support is valuable to him.
Stray observations: Both Nick and Charlie turn out to speak a second language fluently. It feels like a bit of a retcon somehow.
Moderate: Panic attacks/disorders and Eating disorder

There were a lot of serious topics in this one, some that were hinted at or portrayed in volumes 1 & 2 and I'm still reeling from everything that Oseman got to. Nick and Charlie are so precious and I want nothing more than to protect them. They are so open to communicating with each other, and listening too. I love that there were group moments on their Paris trip, that highlighted how close the group is because it highlights the support system that they all need.
Oseman does another fantastic job in her illustrations and writing as she opens up the conversation not just about sexuality and coming to terms, but mental illness as well. This volume was a bit special because a lot of it is centered around Charlie, who reminds me of someone who I loved dearly and still do — there are similar mannerisms between them that I can't help but acknowledge how much they kept to themselves. So this one really got me!

I really don't need to say much. It's too cute for its own good at this point. Hit up webtoons if your stores are out of copies.
