Rating: 4.5 STARS Genre: LGBT/YA/Contemporary Series/Standalone: Heartstopper #3 and #4 How I got this book: Bought In this volume we’ll see the Heartstopper gang go on a school trip to Paris! Not only are Nick and Charlie navigating a new city, but also telling more people about their relationship AND learning more about the challenges each other are facing in private… Meanwhile Tao and Elle will face their feelings for each other, Tara and Darcy share more about their relationship origin story, and the teachers supervising the trip seem… rather close…? 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. Note: I've only included the bio here for Volume 3 as the Volume 4 bio contains spoilers.
TW: Homophobia (homophobic language), mental health (eating disorders and self-harm) I had a huge surprise last week when Heartstopper Volume 4 turned up several weeks early from the bookshop. So, I dropped everything to enjoy my annual Heartstopper re-read. Reading these books is the perfect way to spend a couple of hours. I love the characters that Alice Oseman has created. They're complex, diverse and relatable. Nick and Charlie are the sweetest. I love re-discovering their relationship every year and watching them grow together and support each other. I think Volume 3 might be one of the sweetest volumes between Nick and Charlie, where Volume 4 is probably the saddest and most challenging one yet as they finally face the problems that have been building since Volume 1. As always, Nick and Charlie's friends and family are also developing and I particularly loved Tori, Charlie's sister in Volume 4, as she proves, yet again, how awesome she is and how much she loves her brother. Reading Heartstopper is always bittersweet because I love it so much and just never want it to end. Check out my review of volume one and volume two. These books are the perfect way to while away a few hours with a fun, sweet YA romance while the author also works in serious issues and diversity in a way that feels both natural and impactful.
