These are always enjoyable to read, but this one felt very younnggg and repetitive.
The main topic in this one is that Charlie and Nick are coming to term with their relationship , and debating whether they should come out as a couple to their friends/others. I think for the most part this part was very well handled.
I enjoyed the new setting with the school trip in Paris. It was very fun, the friend group interactions are enjoyable, cute and funny. The two teachers' side story was cute, but a bit out of nowhere and unnecessary. It just feels like ALOT of characters, and I'd rather focus on the main friend group and their story.
I didn't like how Charlie's ED and SH were handled. It kinda felt out of nowhere, and the tone of the book shifted very quickly in the second half. It felt like randomized characteristics thrown onto the character and it was very surface level. I am interested in seeing how the author will expand these topics in vol 4. Also, the miscommunication was sooooo annoying and repetitive. Very realistic for their age group and the characters, but ughhh it was boring to read.
A lot of the characters are starting to blend together personality-wise, like the way they talk, it's all the same... except for maybe Tao (his story with Elle was very cute. Also, Aled mind your business -.-'' )
Overall, Charlie and Nick are very cute together, and there are some very cheesy scenes in this (i love it!) like the 'recharging' bit, how sweeeeet. But at some point, I wonder what do they have in common, because all they do is worry about each others, apologise, and kiss. Rinse and repeat. I read vol 1 and 2 a while ago so maybe they show in those why they get along, but wtv it was, it got lost in this one

I was going to give this book 3.75 stars. However, I happened to read it beside my buddy Alex.
He said, "3.75??!! You were giggling and kicking your feet the entire time!"
Which come to think of it. He was right.
Excuse my rambling, but I feel Harry was done justice in the books rather than the Netflix show.
He stuck up for Nick and Charlie during the Paris trip, and Nick asking "Did Harry just try to defend us?"
He apologized at the party rather than the movie theater to Charlie.
To me, that seems a lot more organized than the shows way of putting it.
People are angry about Ben getting written out of the show in season 3. Bestie. He got written out of Volume 1 in the books. What do you mean?
Alice Oseman did a really good job introducing a threatening character.
If that's the person that made the illustrations instead of the books.
They made it so you were scared of Nick's brother showing up out of nowhere.
Nick's dad was introduced, but I don't think in the show he was fully French?
* I'm not complaining. If anything, I like that idea rather than him being English completely*
Although! I haven't seen season two, so I wouldn't have any idea how his dad acts.
I understand that books, movies, and shows are completely different! But it's fun to point this stuff out and see what's "correct" and what's not!
