Another wonderful read from Oseman! This one takes a more serious turn from the previous two books in a way that comes across as natural and real. Having the main couple (and their assorted friends) in a new environment was a fantastic way to show the development of their relationship. The ending left me worried about the content of the next volume in an exciting way. Bravo!

I love that themes of the volumes are now stretching out of the puppy love stage. Relationships can be hard but seeing nick and Charlie’s friendship blossom with their romance is a true delight.
