Will I forever rate this 5 stars? Yes, purely because I love how happy this series makes me. I don't know what Alice Oseman infused into her writing to make this happy, but I am here for it.
----
Re-reading for the Netflix show to start this weekend, and I think I appreciate this even more each time I read it. Oseman is truly a master at writing relationships that slowly unfold, and Nick and Charlie are just the most adorable thing ever.
----
Second time through in preparation for volume 4 to get here and it's just as good the second time! Nick and Charlie are just so cute. Oseman does a great job with the build up to their relationship, too.

Ohh I see why everyone loves this! It's honestly so adorable. I fell in love with Nick and Charlie right from the beginning. I can't wait until the next two volumes get here!
