Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes

Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

I absolutely love Charlie and Nick. I also love that Oseman is exploring other queer relationships in this volume. I appreciate the touch on mental health and mental illness. And I definitely appreciate that as cute as this young romance is, it’s very realistic about what it’s like to be queer and coming out. It’s nothing like movies where there’s this one coming out scene and things are normal. And even if most of your family is supportive, there’s always one or two that struggles with the “change” in the norm or just outright homophobic. I can’t wait to see where this story goes!
