Best friends and next door neighbors. One becomes the captain of the basketball team and the other the president of the robotics club. Jocks and nerds don't hang out together says the unwritten rules of high school, so they stopped spending time with each other. When unexpected events bring them back in each other's orbit, they find that they are the one person they can depend on most.

I had no idea that this was a re-release and that the original came out over 10 years ago. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it does make me wonder if a sequel will ever happen, I'm sure a lot of people would agree that they'd love to see more from these characters. Especially as it feels like you don't get to learn too much about them.

I really like the art style of Nothing Can Possibly Go Wrong. It's super clean, the colour palette is nice and the character designs are cute. It gives me major Chef's Kiss vibes, art-wise, and that's a very good thing - I love that graphic novel.

Thank you to netgalley, author and publisher for a copy of this book.

It was a cute high school story and the art style was nice but it just wasn’t for me.

* The art is really cute!
* Really liked the unlikely friendship between the 2 main characters.
* The shenanigans are genuinely funny.
* Robotics club looks so cool it makes me envious that my school never had anything like that.

All in all, a fun little graphic novel.

Super cute, I loved the illustrations and the story. Extremely feelgood, enemies to friends trope. Definitely for fans of Heartstopper and other cute modern YA comics,

So I didn’t realise this was book 1 until the last few pages, which was a bit disappointing. I would have liked that to be clearer in the title, blurb, or cover. Given that Nothing Can Possibly Go Wrong was first published in 2013 and there is no sequel (as far as I can find) I think you’ll need to assume there won’t be a sequel. Therefore the ending is very open, I like to imagine it all went happily ever after and everyone worked out there issues.

Outside of that I enjoyed Nothing Can Possibly Go Wrong but more so from the second half onwards. The beginning didn’t have me routing for either main character much but as you got to know them a bit better that changed. I found the club members and cheerleaders more interesting than our “heroes”.

This was fun! School election warfare, unexpected friendships and a whole host of family troubles! Gorgeous illustrations in this and really likeable characters. Definitely more YA than kids, but still enjoyed it! A perfect Netgalley Tuesday afternoon read.

This is a very Scott Pilgrim-esque slapsticky teenage comedy that keeps escalating with every page, quite vintage in the way that puts me in mind of 90ies teenage romantic comedies while not being about romance. The central relationship between two friends held the story together, and things around it that made up the central conflict kept escalating to the tune of Looney Tunes. I felt it was a little over the top, but if you don’t come in expecting too much simiarity to Heartstopper you’ll be fine, because it stands on its own.

When I saw this or surprise that I got accepted, but I was pleasantly intrigued. When I went into this book I didn’t realise it was a manga or a comic. I thought it was a novel so I absolutely loved it and I sat and engulfed it within an hour of being excepted for it. I actually really liked this it sure it’s sweet. The characters are distinctive. There’s an aim and I love the outcome, I would love to see more from these characters in the future, as I think that they have very unique personalities, and I’d love to go into the reason why one of the main characters avoids conflict . I would 100% recommend it’s fun it’s quirky and it’s just a blast to read

an engaging high school drama, however annoying. I felt bad for charlie for being dragged in the middle of the robotics-cheerleaders conflict. But the story felt unfinished here...? will there be part 2?
