😍 The good:
The outlook on relationships was rather positive and the main characters evolved in a good direction. From being insecure and bickering to solving conflicts and understanding each other, we get to follow a sweet love story. The book is relatable for its age group and is written in a nice style, expressing also some deep ideas.
😅 The not-so-good:
Not that much to say here: the story contained some unhealthy behaviours as well, but those are not that surprising considering the characters' age. This is also one of the first books from the Heartstopper franchise, so obviously it's not the best one out there, being still somehow simplistic and too short to develop too much.
