Absolutely loved this second volume!
Oseman has a great way of interpreting through facial expressions such a range of emotions. Especially in those moments where it's the simplest dialogue but the expressions say more! I love the use of a single color palette instead of the grey. It makes the panels leap and highlight the characters.
Seriously I'm in love with this series. The exploration that Nick goes through as he tries to understand his feelings and sexuality while trying not to hurt anyone was heartbreaking and wonderful to go through. Oseman does a great job exploring all of that and questioning through Nick with Charlie's support.
