I relate so much to Charlie in terms of having mental illnesses, EDs, and feeling self-conscious about my body during intimacy. I read all of Heartstopper with teenage me and adult me in mind and I think both teens and adults can learn from Nick & Charlie's relationship. My current relationship is very Nick & Charlie-coded because we really value communication. Thank you for another banger, Alice! Can't wait for book six and season three (and probably four)!
