Hard to believe that I waited an entire year before finishing this series! Because they are graphic novels, I read volumes 2 through 4 in a couple of weeks. I'm not going to bore you with 3 separate reviews though.
As with the first, the stories in these novels captivate you and there's no helping but fall in love with the characters. While the story arc is the love between two teenagers, there are many underlying stories dealing with all sorts of teenager stuff like eating disorders, suicide, depression, siblings, family dynamics, general teenage angst, and so much more. And, of course, the difficulties of navigating all of this and the fact that you're queer, which brings to the table all sorts of other things and feelings to deal with.
If you want to know what it's like to be a gay teenager trying to figure out life, read these books. I can't wait for the next one and to check out the Netflix series.
