"Charlie, a highly-strung, openly gay over-thinker, and Nick, a cheerful, soft-hearted rugby player, meet at a British all-boys grammar school. Friendship blooms quickly, but could there be something more...?
Charlie Spring is in Year 10 at Tuham Grammar School for Boys. The past year hasn't been too great, but at least he's not being bullied anymore. Nick Nelson is in Year 11 and on the school rugby team. He's heard a little about Charlie- the kid who was outed last year and bullied for a few months- but he's never had the opportunity to talk to him.
They quickly become friends, and soon Charlie is falling hard for Nick, even though he doesn't think he has a chance. But love works in surprising ways, and sometimes good things are waiting just around the corner..."
My Rating: 5/5
This graphic novel was exactly what I needed right now. It has the sweetness of a high school self-discovery, two boys finding themselves, and romance. The best way to describe this story was cute and heart-warming. I would highly recommend if you are looking for a quick sweet read, there is a change of pace near the end, but I liked that it kept the intrigue of the story. I look forward to reading the next installment as soon as possible.
Thanks for reading,
Sidny
