So far the best volume! I loved Charlie and Nick and their relationship so much in this volume, and the Paris setting was a great addition.
It did start talking about some serious issues, so tw for eating disorders and self-harm. 
I really loved how Charlie and Nick's relationship developed in this volume, and it was just really touching how much their care about each other. They are very supportive of each other and Nick tries to really help Charlie. I also really love the 'Paris squad' and the developments their friends go through in this volume.
The representation of mental health is one of the best I've read so far, and as I have read in other reviews many agree. I don't want to talk about the realness or anything since I cannot judge that, but I really like how not only queer-positive this series is, but also how it does not shy away from problems, but rather tackles them in a very open and real way.
