Charlie didn't think Nick could ever like him back, but now they're officially boyfriends. Charlie's beginning to feel ready to say those three little words: I love you. Nick's been feeling the same, but he's got a lot on his mind - not least coming out to his dad, and the fact that Charlie might have an eating disorder. As summer turns to autumn and a new school year begins, Charlie and Nick are about to learn a lot about what love means.

Thoughts

Just love these graphic novels. Ahead of watching the latest series on Netflix, I thought I would read the book first - they’re so similar, the TV show so faithful to it’s source material, so it’s nice to read it ahead of time. In this one, things are starting to get serious and it has a darker tone but such important stuff - the idea of vulnerability, of dealing with your mental health, but also how difficult it can be for those trying to support as well. Really good.
