What do you do when you gave the first one 5 stars and then you love the second one even more?? All the hype for this series is definitely well deserved. I'm late to the party (as always), but I'm just so happy to now have these stories and characters in my heart.

I feel like I started to get to know the secondary characters a lot better with this one and I can now fully understand why I've heard people saying they love Tao or Tara & Darcy. So much greatness in one graphic novel series!

ps. I think I said "awwe" every two pages or so lol

Much like volume 1, Heartstopper 2 was a cute, fast read with little conflict and a heartwarming love story. Well worth the 20 minutes it takes to read.

I liked volume 1, I loved volume 2. Nick and Charlie, the main characters, are adorable, cute, absolutely loveable. It's actually difficult describing the experience of reading this graphic novel, because it's very powerful in transferring the story without using words. The body language, expressions in the faces, the ways the characters are drawn tell the story - words are complementary. Can't wait to read the next part :)
