I am so grateful to Alice Oseman knowing that somewhere teens would be reading this and they will feel comfortable with their bodies, thought process and find it a little bit easier to navigate these tricky teenage years. They will know what a healthy relationship looks like. They will know to communicate their feelings with their partners, friends, siblings and parents.
The main thing what I liked most about is before we saw how much Charlie and Nick grew together and now they are wondering how they will be apart and we already saw the glimpse of them trying new things for themselves without each other’s explicit help. Your partner will always be there for you but at the same time they won’t be the only one who will help you grow. Your support system is so much bigger, with friends, parents, siblings, teachers etc etc. Some people are lucky to have all, some only have few and some have only one. And all of this is okay. Through everyone’s story we got to know so much about support system and love and friendship.
P.S.: I was so happy to see Charlie’s growth in this volume. It’s the confidence building for me. Charlie took some big steps and it wasn’t easy to go there. But Charlie did it. I am so proud of him.
