Being a teenager is hard and it is even harder still when you feel like you have to hide who you really are in order to just survive. Alice expertly crafts a support group for each of her characters but she also inserts stress and drama and yearning and the understanding that sometimes, love isn't enough. Sometimes, we need to do the hard work for ourselves and no one else, despite how many people we have in our corner. And that's scary to think about, but also a bit freeing, no? To think that we can do the hard work, fail miserably, and know that we always have a soft place to land with those who love us.
Everyone needs to read these.

Oseman did a fantastic job with both Nick and Charlie as well as the mental health aspect of the book.
I would say this graphic novel is a short comforting read, good for people who may be struggling with mental health and just need cute graphic novel with representation and accurate mental health depictions.
This book may be triggering so be mindful of this while going into this graphic novel
Overall, this book is a quick read that is really enjoyable
