Very sweet - definite Heartstopper vibes, especially since Ari looks so much like Charlie. This was a charming, quick read - slightly disjointed at times but cute enough that I didn’t care. I guess I can still do YA in graphic novel form. 

(Did I read this tonight so my books for the year would be 80 and not the awkward number 79? You bet.)
