Every issue of Heartstopper has been some of the best reading I've done in my life, all 5 stars, but if I could rate volume 4 infinity stars, I would.
Lots of important topics discussed in this volume, in a safe but realistic and digestible way. Prepare to cry!
Really lovely series with really lovely characters and I'm very excited to meet them all again in volume 5 and see what they've been up to.

There is support for mental illness, and that romantic love isn’t a cure. Sure, it helps sometimes, but you can’t fix someone with it and you can’t do it yourself and try to hold someone who is suffering up when they don’t want to be held in the first place.
This book definitely goes deeper for both boys and their relationship. I’m very excited to see how the next and final book goes for the two of them!
The first two books were so wholesome and reminded me a lot of my queer experiences growing up making me feel so s e e n !
While the last two have also but in a much different way. I’m currently learning more about my own mental health and things like OCD so this has given me more space to explore that with Charlie.
Overall, a beautiful book and series! Definitely one I plan to reread many times in my life! Excited for the final volume!! :D

Inoltre, riesce a mostrare l'importanza della rete di supporto intorno alla persona che sta affrontando questi momenti importanti, senza però dare il messaggio che l'amore basti a risolverli, o che basti una sola persona per fare ciò.
In aggiunta, mostrando parte della terapia di Charlie, questo libro secondo me ha il potere di aiutare degli adolescenti ad affrontare meglio queste tipologie di disordini, sapendo che esistono le possibilità per ricevere un aiuto.
Nonostante ciò, sconsiglio la lettura a chiunque sia facilmente triggerato da questi temi, perché possono risultare estremamente pesanti emotivamente, essendo il focus principale dell'opera, ma soprattutto perché vengono affrontati legandoli all'impatto emotivo e psicologico che essi hanno sui protagonisti.
Non do il massimo, in quanto il formato dell'opera (una graphic novel) non riesce comunque personalmente a prendermi quanto farebbe un'opera in prosa, ma questo è un problema più personale che altro.
