I relate so much to Charlie in terms of having mental illnesses, EDs, and feeling self-conscious about my body during intimacy. I read all of Heartstopper with teenage me and adult me in mind and I think both teens and adults can learn from Nick & Charlie's relationship. My current relationship is very Nick & Charlie-coded because we really value communication. Thank you for another banger, Alice! Can't wait for book six and season three (and probably four)!

Minor sexual content is referenced and discussed but still appropriate for most teens. Disordered eating is referenced and discussed, but not in vivid detail.
