5.0

Volume 3 in the Heartstopper series is such a dichotomy. Nick & Charlie are officially “together” and headed to Paris for a class trip. Conflicts emerge as No k hopes to see his stranger of a dad, and Charlie is grappling with control issues that are becoming dangerous for him. I liked the depth of Nick’s character as he noticed Charlie’s changing habits, yet didn’t judge him. A lovely playbook for how to be compassionate in a relationship.
