I finally understand the hype! Nick and Charlie are the cutest, and this was the perfect read at the perfect time for me. My only regret is not borrowing all the volumes at once from the library because now I have to wait for book 2! 

I appreciate everything about this YA LGBTQ+ romance. Nick and Charlie are characters to root for. They stand up for themselves and they are assertive. I appreciate the lessons about sexuality and stereotyping and not being able to tell if someone is gay or straight just by looking at them - thanks Miss. Singh! 

I will definitely recommend this series to YA readers and I can't wait to read Vol. 2!
