Yet another book full of Nick and Charlie being cute together. Makes me interested to see what we are gonna see in Vol 6 of Heartstopper.
The font size and spacing in this book is crazy, I sped through it like it was nothing.

I found this book in the series to be a bit frustrating for a few reasons -
1. The miscommunication (though really for the age of the main characters this one I can excuse a bit more) is a bit grating but I can understand this more so as they’re running on emotions and stress which plays into this
2. The codependency of Nick and Charlie’s relationship - I find the romanticizing of this aspect of their relationship to be a lot more concerning. I hope that in the next graphic novel and future books there is more discussion of the importance both of friendships and romantic relationships. I feel like that is well captured in the earlier books and even the show especially with the inclusion of an asexual character but this book even more so than some of the others really elevates romantic relationships as the end all be all. I think it will be interesting to see where their relationship goes from here with long distance because I do think the amount they spend time with each other and are less aware of what is going on in their friends lives will create some potential rifts. Ideally Nick will make friends and have a life in college and Charlie will need to be okay with that and develop other aspects to his life as he finishes up high school.

This was focused a bit more on troubles and problems in Nick's and Charlie's relationship, but it was still so heartwarming and hopeful. It felt authentic and fitting.

It was a lovely little add-on to what we have for heart stopper right now. It doesn't involve a brief description of sex but nothing graphic really but a perfect short read if you want to expand on the heartstopper universe.

This is a fantastic novella and more of the Nick and Charlie content I need in my life. They are big dumb idiots and I love them.
