Spoilers Ahead: 

Heartstopper, they could never make me hate you. I absolutely adore you so much. 

In this book, Nick and Charlie are going around France on a school trip with their school. They are battling with the decision to come out to people, who to tell, worrying about the backlash of it. The iconic teacher couple from the Netflix series are finally in the comic, and they made it so so so much better, and it follows Charlie’s struggles with mental health and eating disorders, and Nick tries to help him through it. 

I just read a review (from a parent) saying that this book is “100% grooming”, because it’s about kids having sex? First of all, that doesn’t actually happen (to my knowledge) in this book, and second of all, it’s so unrealistic thinking that all children don’t have sex at that age. Prohibiting reading about it is only going to increase the likelihood that they have sex in a safe way, not stop them from doing it. As it is, in other books, Oseman touches really taboo subjects that kids need to be exposed to, like sex, and protection, and mental illnesses. The problem with this review is I’m 90% sure it’s nothing to do with the ‘sexual content’, and everything to do with the fact that it’s two boys doing it. SMH! 

Anyway, rant over, I thought this book was too cute, just like the others. It’s not my favourite, I’m not really sure what it’s not doing for me, however I never really liked the Paris scene in the Netflix, series, either. However, still a lovely book, and I can’t wait to complete the series!
