This was another beautiful installment to
Nick and Charlie’s story. We got to see their story go deeper and dive more into Charlie’s struggles with his mental health, and Nick supporting him the best way he knows how. Alice has found such an beautiful balance of heartfelt love and serious topics, and how it was approached in the story is amazing. You feel for these characters, relate to them, and root for them. I can’t wait to see what’s next in Nick and Charlie’s journey.

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.

I really loved this volume of Heartstopper. I liked how it showed the way both characters were able to grow away from each other instead of just as a couple and how they both stayed together through it all.

I know that the ED discussion in this book is something that I've never dealt with personally or have helped anyone with so I don't know how to feel about it in this book. From my knowledge of it this book handled it well - along with the mental health aspects, and liked how the families changed around it too and how it was sort of a snowball to make people look into themselves a little more.
