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!

Still in love with those two. Seeing Nick growing, learning about himself and starting to realize what kind of friends he had and that those friendships didn’t make sense for him anymore was inspiring, there are many adults that are still unable to let go of bad friends for their insecurities. I how Nick will really go through with it. I had to hold my tears when Nick

came out to his mom

. One last thing: Charlie,15, saying he never thought something like that would happen to him got my eyes rolling. Teenagers… 😁

Seriously so cute and wholesome. I have already inhaled two of these books after midnight. I love seeing the character growth as Nick especially comes to understand himself better and finds his place a little more.

Not a fan of this type of illustrations but honestly Heartstoppper, whether the books or the tv show, has become a comfort place for me.
The coming out scene with Nick's mom is SO personal and important and healing to me!!
