These just continue to get better & better - the third volume of Heartstopper is easily the best of the series thus far, I wasn't expecting this to go where it went at all!

I loved following Nick & Charlie as they went on their class trip to Paris - I was so excited to get to spend a lot more time with the supporting characters here, they were easily some of the best parts of this volume & I thoroughly enjoyed seeing how all of their relationships played out. What I loved most, however, were the issues that were tackled here - again, I wasn't expecting this to get anywhere near as serious as it did, but I'm glad it went there (CW for eating disorders, self-harm). Oseman handled these so well &, as someone who's faced similar issues in the past, it really hit home & made the story that much realer & relatable. & again, the artwork- so much of the beauty found within this story lies within the simplicity of the artwork & I'm still blown away by it.

I've never been this emotionally attached to fictional characters, I'm completely in my feelings (if you can't tell, lol) - I just love this series so much. Highly, highly recommend, & these would be perfect if you're planning some reads for Pride next month!
