Heartstopper Volume 1 by Alice Oseman
3.5
lighthearted relaxing fast-paced

This is a sweet, utterly good-natured story about two teen boys who are slowly falling for each other. I have to admit that my favourite of the pair is Nick, the rugby player, because he's just so against the stereotype of the star athelete. (I knew he was my favourite when he was trying to find the photo of the cheesecake he'd made his granny, and got distracted by pictures of his dog instead.) I smiled nearly all the way through this, but the end is a little bit of a downer, which dropped it down from the four full stars. I understand that this is only the first volume in the series, so I'm confident the boys will work it out, but still... so much of this was kind and supportive and happy that I would have liked a happy ending as well.
