I really like Alice Oseman's writing and I've been following the heartstopper comics for a really long time. I will say that their written works (not graphic novels) tend to be a bit more dark, so be prepared for that if you are only used to Heartstopper level drama and angst.

It's a very short, compact story. 
The plot could have been developed into a whole novel. 
Felt a little rushed at times.

Some of the characters speak about mental illnesses in a very degrading manner. "Crazy" Or "maniac" Are examples of descriptions used. An explicit case is the discussion of schizophrenia.
