This volume really digs into the mental health stuff, and even though that topic is heavy in itself, Oseman doesn't make it feel that way. Nick is trying his best to do what's right for Charlie, and Charlie is figuring out how to work with his mental illness. I'm sure once the show reaches this point, it will be done with just as much grace as it is in the book.
Graphic: Eating disorder, Mental illness, Self harm
Moderate: Homophobia
