I loved how this book tackled heavy topics in such an accessible and gentle way. I love the honesty of Nick's concern for Charlie and the way his illness and treatment were discussed and presented. Another 5 star installment of Heartstopper!

“Love can’t cure a mental illness” 

Gosh this series is just perfection. The depiction of Charlie’s ED was handled so beautifully. Such a wonderful message.

Nick and Charlie are officially together! But Nick has noticed Charlie has been struggling with eating, and it troubles him that his boyfriend is struggling.

This volume of the Heartstopper series focuses on mental health and it does so brilliantly. Mental disorders are difficult beasts to tackle, especially for two teenage boys. Together, they must learn how to rely on each other and on others for Charlie to get better.
