Oh my goodness!! This has my heart hurting from the hurtful words from Harry. Charlie is so sweet. His blushing has me blushing. 
It was funny that 3 minutes later (page 111-112), Charlie's phone went up 1% haha 

Excited to watch the show after I finish the series.

Lovely and adorable. It took me a little while to get used to reading a graphic novel as it’s my first, and it’s a different kind of book than a novel. But lovely characters, great feeling, and really took me back to high school crushes and realizing that you may not crush solely on who you expect.

It was very short. Not lots of words. Good for something light-hearted when you want to read and not have to think to much. Happy.

A heart-wrenching debut to a wonderful series, leaving me hungry for volume 2! Oseman's simplistic style helps the pages fly by as the great will-they-won't-they unfolds at Truman Grammar School for Boys.

A scene has a character try to force another character to kiss them while claiming that the other character "wants it" which is very reminiscent of sexual assault. Another character breaks the two up before anything too serious happens.
