Heartstopper (and the whole Oseman verse itself) was so influential to young me figuring out her sexuality. These graphic novels will always hold such a special place in my heart. While this was not my favorite of the series, it tackled an important part of the young queer experience, as well as mental health and other important topics. I always say this, but Heartstopper will help so many people!!

Actually so happy this wasn't the last volume, because Heartstopper truly means so much to so many people. I really am so happy to see asexuality depicted in the character of Tori, especially the depiction of being an asexual person dating someone who isn't, which really isn't talked alot about. Just a beautiful, heart-warming depiction of queer youth, all around.

I love how the topics have grown with the Heartstopper gang. The topics have matured and remain so relatable. This book gave equal space to Charlie and Nick on their own as well as together. The development and growth they go through it perfect. One of my top favourite volume of the series.
