I have been wanting to read this series since the first one released but I kept putting them off because I wanted to have all of them so I could binge read them but I have finally read the first one. The hype for this series is crazy. Heck I was hyping it before I even read it. I think I let the hype get to me. While I did enjoy this book I wasn't as blown away by it as I expected to be. It's definitely very cute and the graphics are amazing but I was expecting to want to immediately jump into the next book and that's just not the case. I am ok with not having the other books to binge back to back. Don't get me wrong I really enjoyed this story and I can't wait to continue on with the series to find out what happens next.

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.
