Let the blushing ensue!! Charlie and Nick are so cute- I can't with them. Their relationship is growing and it is great to see friendship and character development. This volume extends to other issues, such as eating disorders, mental health, and coming out & outing. I like how Oseman does not tiptoe around the subjects-she introduces each topic in a natural way that seems realistic.

Another 5 star from me! Excited to the next volume!

For now, this is my favorite volume. Maybe it’s because Nick & Charlie are finally together or maybe because there is this Paris trip, but i couldn’t take my eyes off the pages. I loved everyone in this book.
Except Nick’s brother of course. David go fuck yourself.

I love how we discovered characters like Aled, Tao and Elle. How they have been developed. Such as Nick & Charlie. We have learned things about them. I think it will be developed in the 4th volume.
They’re getting mature. When we compare the 2 first Volume with this one, we see that they grew up. That makes sense, first because they are teenagers lol, and second one because in the first book it was talking about innocence and discovering and now we are exploring their relationship and how their bonds are strengthened.
I was so excited about Nick&Charlie’s intimacy moments. For real, they were so cute. They ARE so adorable. I love them so much. 
So don’t stop reading Heartstopper at the 2nd Volume, go read the 3rd one !

Another wonderful read from Oseman! This one takes a more serious turn from the previous two books in a way that comes across as natural and real. Having the main couple (and their assorted friends) in a new environment was a fantastic way to show the development of their relationship. The ending left me worried about the content of the next volume in an exciting way. Bravo!

I love these books so much. The gang goes on a class trip to Paris. Charlie and Nick face the challenges of wanting to come out as a couple to their peers.
