I really appreciated the asexual representation, especially as so much of the plot was focused on Nick and Charlie’s relationship developing sexually (which had been the reason I found this book less enjoyable than the previous volumes).

There is so much growth in this volume as these characters continue to work through challenges, think about their futures and try new experiences. I’m looking forward to Volume 6!

This story feels so lived in and real, it reminds me of my time in high school just before college. I appreciate the care this author puts into depicting mental health issues and representing a multitude of young, queer experiences.

Again a great addition to the Heartstopper universe. I am already sad that there will be just one more volume.
