Reviews with content warning for Homophobia - Heartstopper Volume 1

I loved how real this story felt. Charlie and Nick are sweet baby angels and I want to give them both the biggest hugs. Being a teenager is really the worst, but at least your friends make it bearable. 💕 I really hope these two guys can make it through all the messiness that exists in their world. And yay for more queer stories! I love the representation the queer youth are getting these days. 🌈

I’m so ready to tear through all available volumes and then binge the show. 🥹

this was my first graphic novel and it was soso cute and sweet. I breezed through it in a day and a half.

I 100% reccommend this book, I'm just stingy with star ratings since this is a very lighthearted and fun slice of life.

I finally read this haha. I thought it was very cute and quick to read, but there were a lot of elements or tropes that I usually try to avoid in queer media. I hope those things will lessen as I continue the series, so I'm not too mad about it. I also just prefer adult romance, and usually I prefer an edgier or gritter atmosphere to my books, romance or not.
