Heartstopper Vol. 2 is the second installment of the Heartstopper series by Alice Oseman.

I enjoyed this sequel a lot! The characters feel much more fleshed-out and have established their goals. I'm so glad that Nick

moved past his fear and discomfort and got with Charlie.

I am also very proud of him for

standing up to his gross, homophobic friend Harry and kicking his ass.

 

I checked out the other volumes in the series to read because I'm enjoying the series that much!

Oof! My heart!! I love the bisexual representation- so many times it's always straight or gay, no other options, so the fact that there is mention that there are other sexual orientations outside of straight and gay is soooo nice. I also found Nick's mom funny: "I'm not born in 1920." Hahaha!

Mentions the word "f*g" once in a derogatory context.

Like with Volume 1, I reread this to prepare for the TV adaptation releasing TONIGHT!! Once again, this was adorable and heartwarming and perfect. I think I slightly prefer this second book to the first volume. I love Nick's character development, and the patience and care Charlie had for him.
