This book is an auspicious start to the Heartstopper series. I read this after having watched the Netflix show and was so charmed by how similar they are. Oseman is a candy-sweet storyteller. I agree with other reviews in that this is very fanfiction-y, trope-y, easy-reader-y fluff. And that's ok. I think it's alright to enjoy things that make you happy. Not everything needs to be complicated and dark to add something to queer literature. That being said, it's probably my least favorite of the Heartstopper books.
