This is a very sweet graphic novel that was turned into the groundbreaking Netflix TV series of the same name. It's effectively a storyboard for season 1. The characters of Nick and Charlie are recognizable and were very well cast. I read this book in less than 24 hours. Although it's aimed at younger readers, there's still much to enjoy for someone like me at 41: just the way that most of the characters are so accepting and kind. I'm also intrigued by Alice Oseman's other books, such as Solitaire, which is where the Nick and Charlie characters originated and is told from the point of view of Tori, Charlie's older sister, who is one of our favourite characters from the TV series. It would have been interesting to read this before having watched the TV show, so if you haven't partaken of either, I recommend starting with the books and then watching Netflix.
