Nick and Charlie are such a great set of characters and it is masterful watching their friendship unfold. The storyline is amazing and it is great to see so much LGBTQIA+ rep in the series. Honestly I don't really have the words to describe how great this series is and just want to recommend it to anyone and everyone!

I almost DNF'd this, but then I didn't, and I'm glad.
Heartstopper is wholesome and genuine in its storytelling. We follow two boys, Charlie and Nick, as they are randomly assigned as seatmates in class. The two are very different: Charlie is a skinny underclassmen who experienced bullying after being outed as gay while Nick is a popular upperclassmen who plays on the lacrosse team, but that doesn't stop the two from slowly becoming close friends.
It's hard to say too much about this story other than that I really enjoyed it. Their friendship and their feelings towards each other are so genuine and pure. There is something so wholesome about the way these two defend and support each other, how they bring out the best in each other, how they give each other courage and insight into their own identities.
I get the hype on this one. I really do.

The PE teacher is the ultimate hero we needed and I hate Ben.
They really pulled out the “am I gay?” Quiz

The drawings are gorgeous and the storyline is easily followed. Beautifully made.
Easy read. Took me less than 45minutes.
A really, really heartwarming story. Had me smiling (almost) all the way through.
