This one was a lot more serious than the other volumes but I feel like everything it brought up it dealt with extremely well. It was still a good blend of wholesome and serious

I've said it before, but I really would have benefited from something like  this when I was the target age range.

I think it shows a really healthy example of a couple supporting each while dealing with mental health struggles, and I definitely could have used that in middle school/ high school.

I found the format of the first two sections less impactful than the previous volumes. I think I understand why it was written with a sort of distancing effect, but I'm not sure if was the right call. The third part, with the big family dinner, was very good (and satisfying -- I am a Tori fan forever)

I'm not crying. You're crying. No, it's me. I'm crying. I couldn't actually read Charlie's letter to his parents because it kept setting the tears off.

Honestly, the representation in this one is so good. From the difficulties around asking for help and struggling to explain what the problem even is to what it's like to finally get the help you need. You can tell the effort that went into tackling the difficult subjects of eating disorders, anxiety, OCD and self-harm for this one.

One of the things I loved most was the scene with Nick and his mam talking about how he can help without taking it all on himself. Very true and very well done. Also loved that they showed the friends rallying around Nick as well as Charlie because that's so important.
