i don't know how much more i need to say to show how much i've been gushing about this series as i've been reading through the first four volumes. i truly and beyond love all these characters, and seeing charlie get the help he deserved. it's also just so wonderful to see small storylines set up for the other stories in the osemanverse (namely: solitaire and radio silence). 

please please please, read this series if you haven't already. it's heartwarming and hard-hitting. i seriously would give this series a 20/5 stars if storygraph allowed it. i truly will never shut up about my love for these books.
