What a sweet little story about the world's cutest boys! I found I strongly prefer Nick and Charlie in graphic form — it was hard to make the mental switch to being inside their heads rather than seeing them on the page and "outside" their heads, as it were. But I thought this story dealt with their feelings and the anxieties of high school relationships quite accurately, from both perspectives. I'm so glad Alice Oseman created these characters :)
