The fifth volume of Hearstopper is another sweet tale that deftly balances the dramatic potential of teenage romance with delivering a wholesome insightful plot that would be a valuable read to anyone facing through similar experiences.

This is again a continuation that manages to stand on it's own (is it all the odd-numbered volumes?) as Charlie and Nick consider taking their relationship to a more intimate level while also facing the prospect of Nick leaving town for University a year before Charlie.

The themes also explore the idea of couples being too dependant on each other, the need to have your own space to develop - and the need to grow up from beneath your parents control while also (somewhat) acknowledging that parents have been through similar experiences and might have valuable insight.

Not quite as good as the best Hearstoppers, but a very worthy addition - and I'm keen for the final volume to be published!

A continuation on the beloved series, this one is wholesome in developing the internal conflicts of the relationship, and addressing teenage sexuality in a mature manner.

I really liked this one! Part 3 and 5 are my favorites i think.

This one is about them going further in there relationship, they are talking and thinking about sex and everything around it. Something I have liked about this serie is that they take things slow so it's nice to be able to understand them and see them grow with friends along the way! I also really like that we are now presented with the one year age-gap with Nick looking at different universities. It's nice to grow along this comic.

I thought this would have been the end, but it was not. I'm really looking forward to part six and the last one! I also really like the style and that it's illustrated in black, white and blue!

Love the asexual representation in Tori! She is such a nice character and I really like that Charlie and Tori get to talk with each other about it!

Loved it! <3

Oh, this precious gem of a series! Seeing Charlie and Nick continually figure out how to communicate - with each other, with their friends and family, and with themselves - is so heartwarming and real. Love to see them grow closer together while also navigating making choices and doing things as individuals.
