As I said when I read the first book, I think these suffer from being overhyped but I do enjoy them. I think Charlie and Nicks relationship is cute and the graphics are amazing, but I'm not as blown away by them as everybody else seems to be. I do look forward to reading more about these characters though.

So, as I mentioned when I first read these, I enjoyed them, but I didn't love them like everybody else seemed to. I thought they were all cute and sweet, but I let the hype get to me a little bit.
Then came the adaptation. If you haven't read my thoughts on the Netflix adaptation you can do so by clicking here but in summary watching it is what fully immersed me in the story. It brought it to life for me. The adaptation pretty much followed the graphic novels word for word with a few minor differences.
When I reread it the second time, I loved it so much more than I did the first time. It's so hard to explain how much of difference there was for me between reads. Everything was just amplified in a sense. Ugh I feel like I am not doing this series justice because I am horrible at putting my thoughts into words especially when I loved something as much as I did this series.
I've never had a comfort read book/series, but this has definitely become that for me even though it deals with heavy topics it does it in a way that is hopeful, and I just love it. I can't wait for the 5th vol to come out but at the same time I am sad because I don't want Nick and Charlies story to ever end.
