It's wonderful seeing Nick and Charlie's relationship develop in the romantic setting of Paris! And I loved that the ensemble cast got more attention and development of their respective stories. This volume touches on some heavier topics but always discusses them with sensitivity and empathy; please check the trigger warnings before you read.

I’ve done it! I’ve read Heartstopper! Or I’m caught up with the webcomic and intending to read the rest as it comes out, at least.

I’m sure I’ll update this review when the whole story is finished, but here are some thoughts:

This is exactly what I expected it to be. Wholesome. Healthy. Diverse. Sweet. Generally adorable. Very very queer. It’s very in line with what I know of Alice Oseman’s other writing and general online presence.

I love Nick and Charlie. Charlie especially is written with so much care and sensitivity.

There are a lot of aspects of the story that resonate with me or that remind me of things and people that are familiar to me.

The side characters are sweet. Tara and Darcy are adorable wholesome lesbians. Tao and Elle are very adorable as well. And I enjoy the teachers a lot.

The whole thing is kind of sickeningly sweet, even the mental illness stuff. 

It’s just SO CLEAR that Alice Oseman is VERY online and VERY determined to be UnproblematicTM, and while I respect and appreciate that impulse, it leads to a lot of things being kind of surface-level. We’ll see if my thoughts on that change with further updates.

On to the show!
