Nick and Charlie's love story is just as sweet as every reviewer has said, and my favorite parts of the story were their interactions with each other as they fell in love. I do wish I had looked up the content warnings before reading though, because while there were some light & fluffy elements to the book, there were also some darker elements that were difficult to read, and I would have liked to be prepared for that.
