I’m going to be so devastated when this series is over.  This is such a comfort read.  The characters growing up, planning their futures, and figuring out what they want in life.

It’s so cute and heartwarming.  I loved seeing Charlie becoming more comfortable with his body and gaining his confidence back.  I loved seeing Nick start to figure out who he is when he’s not with Charlie, talking to his other friends while on the uni road trip.

How does Heartstopper keep getting better and better? I loved this so much! I'm so sad that there is only one more volume left in this series. I guess it's time to finally read the novellas.

I love how well Oseman has aged up the characters in the artwork. And I like how this book had so many important conversations between the characters, including the conversation between Tori and Charlie on the ferris wheel! I can't wait for Volume 6, even though it will be the end.

I love how the topics have grown with the Heartstopper gang. The topics have matured and remain so relatable. This book gave equal space to Charlie and Nick on their own as well as together. The development and growth they go through it perfect. One of my top favourite volume of the series.

I'm sorry....but this type of wheretogo-university dilemma is so redundant at this point...like it's only a couple of years,  it ain't that deep bro
Also, I initially picked up this series as escapism but with all the serious stuff that's been brought up, I no longer feel "escaped". (Still better than the previous volume, I guess...) I know it's stupid to complain about a story having substance, it's just this ain't what I signed up for. It hurts to see these characters in pain and struggling, I really do hope the author gives us full happy ending or else I'll riot
