I wanted to like this more then I did... I love all the characters and really care about who they are. But the text is a little difficult to read as it feels like something that could have been a handful of good graphic novel panels but got written out more fully and became clunky and a bit to "how to do therapy talk if you are a teenager." I did like the brief insight into Charlies' sister and her inner world and view of life...

I really liked these scenes in the Heartstopper show... I think the emotional through lines work when they are a bit less hammered upon and this might inspire me to do a rewatch. The show is so charming. I am excited to read Solitaire and hope it gives a bit more then this did.
