Ohhhh, I don’t like how this one ended! What will happen to Nick and Charlie? I felt Charlie’s emotions and anxieties as his boyfriend was preparing to graduate from high school—I had to do a year of high school “by myself,” too! Also, Charlie’s mom was unhinged. My mom would NEVER have let me sleep at my boyfriend’s house in high school (and our relationship was so legit I ended up marrying him, y’all 🤣). WTF?????? Only one volume left. 🥺 Overall, it didn’t have as much substance as the previous four volumes, but it was still good. 

“You’re Nick and Charlie. You’re gonna be fine.”
