This fast-paced, queer, coming-of-age graphic book may have pulled me out of my reading slump. Heartstopper Volume 1 has over 250 pages, though one can get through them in one or two sittings. The book has very easy-to-understand writing, and some pages only contain images; the latter helps one understand the emotions of the characters better and immerses the reader in the story. I found Heartstopper Volume 1 entertaining enough to keep me reading on, with every page urging me to find out more about the two main characters who're trying to figure things out as young queer people in a hetero-normative world. I've never gotten through so many pages so quickly in my life! I'm looking forward to reading Volume 2.

What a sweet romance! There’s lots of setup and build up in this volume. It’s very sweet seeing Nick’s encouragement of Charlie.
Coming from the Netflix adaptation first, I’m surprisedto not see Elle!

I love this series, at this point i have re-read all the books that have got published a lot of times
this series its what has got me into reading, but this book specialy its really nice, all the interaction of the growing love of nick and charlie was incredibly heartwarming and nice, its relatable for a teen's love story, and the representation, specially the Bisexual one that its not that well portrayed on media, its really well done
the only detail its that the end has a HUGE cliffhanger, so I recommend going reading the second book imediatly if you don't want to end up with a lot of tension

Very cute and butterfly-inducing, if a little flat and trope-y. Will definitely finish the series.
