RECAP AND REVIEW

This is the first book is a graphic novel series that currently seems to have six books. We follow the story of Charlie, and Nick who he meets along the way. This series was turned into a a show on Netflix.

It has me too long to pick this up, but I’m glad I finally did! The hype is deserved. I ate this one up and I’m excited to dive into the next one.

We see their friendship develop and strengthen and how comfortable they become with one another.

Sometimes graphic novels can feel like they’re missing a little bit of something to me because they’re fast paced, but this story felt complete, even with a cliffhanger.
