Heartstopper Vol. 2 is the second installment of the Heartstopper series by Alice Oseman.

I enjoyed this sequel a lot! The characters feel much more fleshed-out and have established their goals. I'm so glad that Nick

moved past his fear and discomfort and got with Charlie.

I am also very proud of him for

standing up to his gross, homophobic friend Harry and kicking his ass.

I checked out the other volumes in the series to read because I'm enjoying the series that much!

I’m generally not a fan of graphic novels, but the writer has done a brilliant job capturing the teen hearts of all her characters, even the jerks. She also has done a beautiful job of portraying the perfect parents. She doesn’t shy away from conflict, but it’s written in a way every child should get the chance to read.

Wholesome and sweet. Good bisexual representation here!
My only nitpick is that I found it slightly repetitive how often

the boys apologized profusely to one another for every little thing. It's not a big deal but I did notice it happening a lot. Hopefully as the story goes on they won't feel the need to apologize so much!

A great sequel to Heartstopper Volume 1 and a wonderful book in and of itself. Oseman's style continues to delightfully portray the fluidity and action of the characters. I particularly enjoyed the focus on Nick's journey of discovering his bisexuality and the inclusion of Elle as a young trans girl. The book also beautifully frames the difficulty of keeping a relationship a secret in high school, a conflict always fraught with danger. Wonderful book, excited to read volume 3!
