Another cute volume of this budding love story. It captures the conflicting feeling you get when your in love with someone and it touched on some very important mental health struggles. Lots of information was put in about eating disorders without it seeming to be forced and there was helpful links at the back incase anyone needs help

CW: in-depth depictions of disordered eating, eating disorder treatment, OCD, and self-harm

very heavy topics discussed, and I appreciate the way the author handles the conversation. very appropriate and not romanticizing the issues.

I cannot give any of the heartstopper books less than a five.  Volume 4 was fabulous. A little darker than the three with the discussion of mental illness and eating disorders but it was even better since the characters are learning about themselves and growing up.
