5.0

This novella delves into the challenges of maintaining a relationship amidst the pressures of what’s after high school, including the fear of change and the strain of a long-distance relationship. Nick and Charlie fall prey to typical teenage angst and miscommunication, but prove that they are a romance meant to last.

Having it be written rather than a graphic novel is a great way to pack in a lot more feelings and thoughts and wondering and tugs at our heart strings.
