Heartstopper Volume 1 by Alice Oseman
4.0

This was my first time reading a graphic novel - I found it alright. I read this in one sitting because it was highly cute and because there were very few words. I wish we had more, but I understand that’s not how graphic novels work.

Bookstagram is absolutely obsessed with Heartstopper and I think I’ll have to read the rest of the series to fully understand why. It ended on much more of a cliff hanger than I expected!

The author does a wonderful job capturing all the pining and the yearning looks, she is very adept at conveying a lot of emotion with not very complex drawings.

I very much look forward to hunting down the rest of the series at the library and then watching the Netflix adaptation.
