I challenge you to read this comic without giggling & kicking your feet <3 I wasn't expecting to be as charmed by Charlie and Nick as I am but, here we are. I'm excited to read the rest of the series!

Heartstopper follows the protagonist, Charlie Spring, as he navigates high school after being outed as gay. After being mostly shunned away by everyone and being involved in a toxic relationship with another boy, Ben, Charlie meets Nick Nelson, who he begins a romance with.

I really liked this story. I really liked the art style and I really liked all the characters (except Ben, all my homies hate Ben) I also identify greatly with the internal struggle that Charlie had to go through after being outed. I also went into toxic relationships and friendships where the other party only wanted to be seen with me when no one was watching.  

Overall, I'm excited to read the rest of the series.

This is everything a young adult book today should be about, and to do it graphically was brilliant. The Netflix series was equally good. Was glad to see it followed the book pretty closely. Looking forward to reading the rest of the series.

This is such a cute read. I read the whole series that's out currently (vol 1-4) in one sitting because I loved it so much. It does cover some heavy stuff, but this first book is pretty lite.
