Finishing the first 5 Volumes of Heartstopper to Oseman’s first Novel was jarring to say the least. It is interesting to read this where the POV is so narrow and precise! I admire it for its nerve to the almost cringe way teenagers thought they know everything and every decision is “life or death”. But the heart is there, which is why I love Tori Spring and the Heartstopper series in the first place.

PS. Awesome to know a different shade of Asexuality.
