Well, this is the heartbreaking & gutwrenching one!
First - the "I love you" was PERFECT. Very cute, very awkward, very Nick and Charlie.
Second - the culmination of Charlie's mental health struggles leading to his stay at the mental health facility was so sad. It was well handled, and as I said in my last review, Nick and Charlie cope with it in a very real way for a couple of teens who don't know much or what to do. I also appreciate that although Charlie does get better and improves, he isn't miraculously cured - he's working on himself.
