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.

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.
