 I am reading these graphic novels for the first time for the Escape the Readathon - Readathon hosted by bookswithlexi. I am reading these for the prompt - reminds you of a cohost. I can choose from any one of the 19 cohosts but the 2 this series reminds me of is Ry from Rysreadingcorner and Michelle form Michellslibrary. They talk about this series often on their channels. And I thought this would be a great opportunity to read them. I did NOT expect to fall in love with these characters so quickly! 

As someone who has struggled with identifying attraction and how I feel towards the opposite gender I really identify with Nick in this graphic novel! Last year I came out as Acesexual but over the last year I think more is going on for me so I'm not 100% sure exactly what it is yet. 

I identify with Nick and questioning his feelings but I love that Charlie is so comfortable with his sexuality and willing to give Nick the time he needs to figure it out. This is absolute relationship goals for me and I hope to someday find someone who is as patient and accepting as Charlie is for Nick.
