 I love seeing a healthy discussion about coming out as a couple/coming out individually and a partner being supportive, rather than "why do you want to hide us" kind of thing. Charlie is my favorite and I love this series so much.

!! this is technically a review for the whole heartstopper series (though i would say this is my personal favourite out of the series) !! i found that heartstopper (and other alice oseman books in general) had one of the most realistic and relatable understandings/depictions of lgbtqia+ and mental illness (also there was no romanticising of mental illness !!! /pos) - a must read in my opinion :D
