I didn’t expect to dislike Bloom given how much I loved Heartstopper, but here we are. Mostly, it’s because I found Ari to be impossible to like. He made a lot of bad decisions he never did anything to make up for. Otherwise, the art was pretty, but again, I found other characters similarly impossible to like. Ari’s parents were incredibly frustrating, Hector’s friends were annoying, and Ari’s continued association with an asshole never really felt resolved. Idk, I guess I just disliked pretty much all the characters so much that I could never feel like I liked the book.
