I've been putting off reading this because I was scared I wouldn't like it as much as I ADORE the show, but omg it was everything I wanted and more š„¹š I love Nick and Charlie so much I want to vomit lol they're so cute. I was surprised how faithful the show is to this book! Which helped love it, but I also just loved the style of the drawings and writing and just the š heart š that comes through it so strongly. I absolutely think this series is going to become a comfort read for me.

A cute and queer light-hearted story. I enjoyed it, sometimes it's nice to shut your brain off.
I'll read anything that Alice Oseman creates, and I will now binge the rest of the volumes. (Shout out to Libby!)

i decided to reread this because, honestly, i was in a terrible reading slump and i felt like i needed to find something i could read in one sitting. plus, since its pride month and the second season of the show is being released in a few months, heartstopper felt like the perfect choice.
im not the target audience for this series so i can't relate to all of nick and charlie's experiences. however, im still glad this story exists because it's just what some queer teens might need. also, since this is a graphic novel i really did not mind the "no plot just vibes", which i usually struggle to read.Ā
and ofc, alice's artstyle is so pretty. i just love it so much. i think i am going to keep rereading their other volumes and i really hope it helps me get over my reading slump, lmao.
