This is one of the best books I have ever read. I would give someone my kidney for the chance to read it for the first time once again. It's sappy and romantic and most importantly it is queer.
You get to see their relationship develop from strangers to friends to crushes and beyond, it is kind of slow in the beginning but then you get to see them fall head over heels and you get to fall with them.
In addition the book is beautifully illustrated.
