PARIS. COMING OUT. AH.

Charlie continues to be SO cute and sweet and they just love each other so much. I love their love. This is great seeing the plotlines kind of coming together, with Nick finally coming out and their relationship being public! There's also the start (? I read these books in very quick succession and don't have the clearest memory of what was in each) of Charlie's mental health struggles coming to light and Nick's concern over Charlie. The book handles this very well, very accurate to how a couple of teens who don't really know much would try to manage this very big thing. Which isn't always correct or well!

It was also very satisfying to have Charlie close the door on Harry.
