Oh I struggled with this one.
While it's all nice and good, it also felt unrealistic in a way...? 

No one struggles with biphobia and homophobia except

David

? 
Charlie's

anorexia

  is just a casual thing now? 
And nobody judged him for it? 

It's all so nice and sweet, and nearing toothrotting fluff. And I guess I should have expected that, but it made me a bit uncomfortable while reading this volume. 

I do love Tori though. I'm highly considering reading Solitaire. But I have heard it delves a lot into Charlie's mental health, and I'm low-key scared to get triggered or discover something that makes him less likable in Heartstopper.

Gosh my heart hurts. So nice to see a teen romance that doesn’t have love fixing everything though. I love these two.

This was quite the adventure! I am so glad Charlie sought help and took care of his mental health. Seeing that he took the initiative to seeking help and stayed at a psychiatric hospital and how Nick does his own research and approaches the subject in a sensitive manner is such a great example of a healthy romantic relationship and good representation of how this situation can be handled. I like how Nick's mom understands him and his want to help Charlie, even offering to help Nick find a way to start the conversation.

Another cute installment in their story! I really like how Oseman is working in themes of mental health and how seriously they are taken. It makes me super happy to see teen stories about mental health being taken seriously and accurately.
