This was my first experience with any type of..graphic novel? I think that's what they're called.

I absolutely adored this! 

Charlie is a drummer that was previously outed to his entire school. He's in a relationship with Ben - who may I add, is a dick - until he realizes whatever is happening between them isn't really a relationship. 

Enter Nick. The typical rugby player that is most definitely NOT gay and is most definitely NOT going to fall in love with Charlie. 

That is until he invites Charlie to join the rugby team.

Enter the softest and sweetest romance. The vibes between these two are simplistic but beautiful and I cannot wait to see where the other volumes take us. 

I've seen a lot of negative reviews - mostly about the abuse/savior trope or how the couple just easily falls in love or the artwork of the author - and I'm here to say that truthfully none of those things bothered me. I'm not out here sharing my art - I literally suck at art - so I am not here to tear this to pieces. I think that the illustrations were cute and enough to get the point across and that was all that I needed! I felt the emotions were portrayed enough that my heart was happy when there were happy and sad when they were sad. 

As far as the story line goes, what others saw as negatives I truthfully didn't see as such. In a lot of ways it reminds me of how my wife and I became an 'unofficial couple' in high school - so maybe that's why I love it so much.

If you're looking for a cute and quick story (I read it in less than an hour) - I highly recommend letting Nick and Charlie worm their way into your heart.
