First of all I want to ask, WHY DIDN’T YOU INSIST I READ THIS BOOK BEFORE?

The post man delivered my parcel and I opened it and pulled out the books and immediately started flipping through the first few pages of the book.  Twenty minutes later I had finished the book and I regretted not having bought volumes 2 and 3 at the same time.

I have since found Tapas and I’m reading the rest on there, though I will eventually buy vol 2 and vol 3 because we all need to support authors.

But this is just meant to be a mini review so I going to say I loved this.

I regret not having read it earlier.

I am not normally one to read graphic novels, I find I miss some of the detail and the filled-out-ness of a normal novel.  But I didn’t miss it with this one.  The characters were well rounded.  In fact, I would say that the lack of words made my imagination more active.  I had to fill in the holes, the small lack of description, with how I thought the world would be built.

I love Charlie. I think he is sweet and brilliant and Nick gorgeous and supportive and they are a perfect match for each other.

I would recommend this to anyone. Even if to begin with you only want to read it online (Tapas),  this is so worth reading.  I really need to check out the rest of Alice Oseman’s work.  If it’s nearly as good as this then I will devour it.
