Heartstopper Volume 4 is an amazing book, and my favourite in the series so far! They are an amazing set of books and I’m honoured I got to read them! I love how Oseman deals with mental health and how she recognises that different treatment helps different people!

In volume 4 of heartstopper some difficult topics are brought up and it shows that when you surround yourself with the right people there will always help. This volume was more about the characters as individuals as oppose to their relationship. It helps you connect and feel for the characters separately. There were also some amazing tools on how to help people going through mental illnesses or even if you are going through something. Overall a book that brought many emotions.

4.0

I liked this volume of the comics, but the narration that occured about mid way did impact the flow of reading. 

It was much more information and narrative focused than the previous volumes. Obviously there is a good reason, but just know it's a little slower than the others. 

I do think mental illness topics are handled appropriately especially for a book aimed at young adults.
