Nick and Charlie

Alice Oseman

“You’re…it’s hard to explain. It’s like, if you had to provide evidence for soul mates, everyone would pick you two.”
(Aled Last: page 109)

JEEZ
This ended up turning into a try not to cry fest. I literally ended up crying a bit. I’ve only ever cried at one book before this (Solitaire) and I’ve only cried at something on the tv once (Star Wars: clone wars end of season 5) so well done Alice Oseman, you made me cry. I literally had to put down the book and put my sad song (Flares by The Script) and listen to that on repeat. 

I think that this is an important story in Nick and Charlie’s arks. It was not what I expected. I was told by my friend that she was told it was sad. I thought “oh how sad can it be? I’ve read a lot of sad books, I can handle this one.”  I WISH!!! 

I don’t have to much to say other than the fact, do not get drunk when you’re trying to cover up emotions and this book is a low 4 ⭐️.
