This was adorable.
I fell in love with our main characters even though I spent only a short period of time with them. 
I was smiling the whole way throught.

I watched the show and absolutely adored it. I delayed reading the book because graphic novels are not always my cup of tea, because I feel they only graze the surface level when I want so much more. However, this one is something else. Without many words, it says so much and I adore it all.

Heartstopper follows the protagonist, Charlie Spring, as he navigates high school after being outed as gay. After being mostly shunned away by everyone and being involved in a toxic relationship with another boy, Ben, Charlie meets Nick Nelson, who he begins a romance with.

I really liked this story. I really liked the art style and I really liked all the characters (except Ben, all my homies hate Ben) I also identify greatly with the internal struggle that Charlie had to go through after being outed. I also went into toxic relationships and friendships where the other party only wanted to be seen with me when no one was watching.  

Overall, I'm excited to read the rest of the series.

I watched the TV series when it first came out so I knew I had to read the graphic novel at some point. Love the slow-burn!!
