the fact that alice was going through sm while writing this and it still came out just as wonderful and wholesome 😭❤️ I love how kind and supportive this community and this fandom is, I'm sad volume 6 will be the last one but I'll always hold these novels close to my heart (and most likely reread them to death)

This series is a cute romance story between two teenagers. I love how the story has evolves as they finish their last couple of years in high school. There is some serious issues in this serious so be sure to check the trigger warnings first.

quite surprised by my own rating for this book bc i thought id have enjoyed it more. heartstopper volume 5 retains its signature blend of both the fuzzies and heavy topics, w/ change looming for the main characters, not only externally but also between one another for nick and charlie.

while the resolution's satisfying and oseman effortlessly (seemingly, anyway) explores trickier topics like mental health, eating disorders, sex, sexual orientation and healthy relationships, the former happens a bit too little too late for me, not to mention the uneven pacing. nick and charlie are wayyyyy too co-dependent; not only is it unhealthy but i thought we've alrrady been thru this w/ volume 4???? also the non-communication between them
abt nick's uni choices
for most of the book left me frustrated and overall made the novel not as enjoyable as it couldve been. maybe im outgrowing this series...but im still gonna cop a signed copy of the last volume for sure.

This installation of Nick and Charlie’s romance focuses on Nick deciding on the perfect university, despite it’s relative location to Charlie. It also focuses on Nick and Charlie taking their relationship to the next level and how intense that can feel as a teenager. I love Nick and Charlie and think they’re great role models for other teens for how to behave in teenage relationships.

I love this series so much, it just felt like this one didn’t hit me the same as the others in the series…
