I was trying to wait until all of the books were out, but I couldn’t wait! This graphic novel is just pure queer joy! I remember loving the show so so much, and I love the book/graphic novel just as much! The story is just so amazing, and I loved the artwork! It is a super quick read (took me about 40 minutes ish)! I will be binging all of the other books immediately after this!
Trans right read-a-thon book 2! The author, Alice Oseman, goes by she/they pronouns and considers themselves to be gender-fluid!

Romance, or rather, the beginnings of romance, between two boys at a British high school. This is one of the most wholesome love stories I've read, not that there aren't complications and things that go wrong, but just that the author does such a great job of getting the reader cheering for the couple to come together.
And while the supporting cast is small, the author manages to give us an amazing character in rugby coach Mrs. Singh, who shines in spite of only getting a couple of quick scenes.
The pacing is great, allowing for small moments and dialogue while still moving things along. The cliffhanger ending does feel like a bit of an arbitrary place to cut things, but it did it's job of leaving me wanting to read more.

JK Rowling found dead in a ditch. Alice Oseman is everything she thinks she is.
Crying score: nope.

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.
