Heartstopper Volume 4 is the fourth installment in the acclaimed Heartstopper series written by Alice Oseman.

In this volume, Charlie struggles with an

eating disorder

, which Nick suspects, but is nervous to approach him about. Nick is also dealing with his own issues; most notably, coming out to his father. 

Of course, I have nothing but amazing things to say about the books in this series. I enjoyed this volume a lot. I liked seeing how strong Nick and Charlie's relationship has gotten throughout the series. The pair finally

said I love you to each other

, which made me smile so much. I also enjoyed Nick

standing up to his brother and father

, Tori

threatening Nick's brother, David

, and watching Charlie and Nick grow closer and trust each other. Additionally, I enjoyed seeing Mr. Farouk and Mr. Ajayi

end up as a couple, and the little mini-comic that outlined the 'firsts' in their relationship.

I would absolutely love a spin-off comic that would solely be about those two. 

I am almost done with the entire series. I sort of look forward to watching the tv show as well (I'm only hesitant because of the casting :/).

I don’t really know how to feel about this book…
It is a really powerful story, but it felt a lot more like a self-help book for people with mental illness/their loved ones than an actual novel.
I would have loved if it was executed differently so there was a little more actual story than there was.

An emotional rollercoaster! Definitely a darker contrast from the first three volumes and perhaps even more engaging as a result. (Also worth noting this was only available to borrow in Spanish which is not my native language, so hopefully I didn’t miss any key bits!)
