Charlie and Nick want to take the next step in their relationship and Nick starts thinking about what university that he wants to go to. 

I love how these comics demonstrate how to have open and honest communication. Something a lot of people struggle with including me.

As always, I can only say that Oseman is a genius and Heartstopper continues to dazzle with its sweet romance, endearing friendships, and unflinching portrayal of teenage life. Oseman allows the story to mature with its characters, always keeping things realistic and truthful. I truly adored every second of this and I can’t wait for Volume 6.

the fact that alice was going through sm while writing this and it still came out just as wonderful and wholesome 😭❤️ I love how kind and supportive this community and this fandom is, I'm sad volume 6 will be the last one but I'll always hold these novels close to my heart (and most likely reread them to death)

This series is a cute romance story between two teenagers. I love how the story has evolves as they finish their last couple of years in high school. There is some serious issues in this serious so be sure to check the trigger warnings first.

quite surprised by my own rating for this book bc i thought id have enjoyed it more. heartstopper volume 5 retains its signature blend of both the fuzzies and heavy topics, w/ change looming for the main characters, not only externally but also between one another for nick and charlie.

while the resolution's satisfying and oseman effortlessly (seemingly, anyway) explores trickier topics like mental health, eating disorders, sex, sexual orientation and healthy relationships, the former happens a bit too little too late for me, not to mention the uneven pacing. nick and charlie are wayyyyy too co-dependent; not only is it unhealthy but i thought we've alrrady been thru this w/ volume 4???? also the non-communication between them
abt nick's uni choices
for most of the book left me frustrated and overall made the novel not as enjoyable as it couldve been. maybe im outgrowing this series...but im still gonna cop a signed copy of the last volume for sure.
