I'm DEFINITELY starting to get the hype behind Heartstopper. The first book was swell and dandy and cute, but this one ramped up the drama, the reality of being gay, the romance, and the tension! I love it!
I love Nick and Charlie together, and I love seeing a positive depictions of gay relationships in media. There's already so much hatred and negativity towards gay people, and oftentimes, if there IS a "positive" portrayal of a character they're always this super hardened character, but Nick and Charlie are so SOFT for each other and it's fucking adorable.
I love seeing Charlie get defensive. I love seeing Charlie learn about sexuality. I love seeing Nick get the love that he deserves. I love seeing Nick in an environment where he's accepted. I love seeing Charlie's dynamics with his family and friends after learning about his attraction to Nick. I love seeing Nick so excited to be in love.
Heartstopper is just AHHHHHHH!!!!!
Guide to my ratings:
5 stars: flawless, hard to put down
4 stars: it was really good and memorable
3 stars: it was good/okay
2 stars: none or not many redeeming qualities and somewhat forgettable
1 star: horrible, had no idea what was going on, boring!!!
