Let the blushing ensue!! Charlie and Nick are so cute- I can't with them. Their relationship is growing and it is great to see friendship and character development. This volume extends to other issues, such as eating disorders, mental health, and coming out & outing. I like how Oseman does not tiptoe around the subjects-she introduces each topic in a natural way that seems realistic.

Another 5 star from me! Excited to the next volume!

Another wonderful read from Oseman! This one takes a more serious turn from the previous two books in a way that comes across as natural and real. Having the main couple (and their assorted friends) in a new environment was a fantastic way to show the development of their relationship. The ending left me worried about the content of the next volume in an exciting way. Bravo!
