"Boy meets boy. Boys become friends. Boys fall in love. The bestselling LGBTQ+ graphic novel about life, love and everything that happens in between: this is the fourth volume of HEARTSTOPPER, for fans of The Art of Being Normal, Holly Bourne and Love, Simon.

Charlie didn't think Nick could ever like him back, but now they're officially boyfriends. Charlie's beginning to feel ready to say those three little words: I love you.

Nick's been feeling the same, but he's got a lot of his mind- not least coming out to his dad, and the fact that Charlie might have an eating disorder.

As summer turns to autumn and a new school year begins, Charlie and Nick are about to learn a lot about what love means.

Heartstopper is about love, friendship, loyalty and mental illness. It encompasses all the small stories of Nick and Charlie's lives that together make up something larger which speaks to all of us."

My Rating: 5/5

This review is coming quite a bit later than when I finished reading this volume because I got married this past week! Super exciting stuff and it was so busy that imagine this, a review slipped my mind. But not to worry I'm back at it. This was a great instalment of the series. It is both a sweet and heartfelt story, alongside tackling more serious topics for a young audience. I thoroughly enjoyed it and look forward to more. Would recommend it to anyone even remotely interested in picking it up!

Thanks for reading,

Sidny
