I decided to check out Heartstopper since I kept hearing my teenage sister talk about it. I try to keep up with the trending books so I can continue adding to my class library, and I do think I will be adding Heartstopper to mine. I would like to note that I thought the stories were cute in a shy teenage romance sort of way, although it wasn’t quite my cup of tea. I found that Volume 1 and Volume 4 stuck out to me, primarily do to their focus- discovering one’s sexuality and mental health. Volume 2 and Volume 3 essentially felt like fluffy filler to me. It was cute to see how Nick and Charlie’s relationship evolves, but that’s about it. If you’re looking for a quick and simple read, Heartstopper is the series for you.
