Well, two books in & I can officially say - I'm in love & utterly obsessed with this series! Alice Oseman has truly created something magical here, these are just such a delight to read.

Picking up right where the first volume left off, the second volume of Heartstopper starts to dive into much more serious topics. I loved how the discussions centered around Nick's sexuality & coming out were tackled here, it felt very real & grounded & I found myself tearing up quite a few times. I also really loved getting to know more of the supporting characters, I just adore Tara & Darcy! Again, I was utterly amazed at how hardly any words are needed to convey the emotions these characters are going through - this is a huge testament to Oseman's artwork, you can really feel these characters' thoughts & feelings radiating off the page. & also once again, I have zero complaints - there isn't a single thing I would change about this, it was perfect to me in every way.

If you haven't hopped on the Heartstopper train yet I highly recommend you do so - these are the perfect books for any reading slump & they're just so, so good! These books are quickly becoming a very cherished part of my LGBTQ+ collection.
