It's won my heart!!
Every issue of Heartstopper has been some of the best reading I've done in my life, all 5 stars, but if I could rate volume 4 infinity stars, I would. 
Lots of important topics discussed in this volume, in a safe but realistic and digestible way. Prepare to cry!
Really lovely series with really lovely characters and I'm very excited to meet them all again in volume 5 and see what they've been up to.

A harder one to read, but their love for one another makes it just a bit easier.  Be gentle with yourselves.

The sweetest graphic novels and depictions of teens coming out and experiencing Queer joy. HIGHLY recommend. Such a feel good series but they also touch on real life experiences with school bullies, sibling bullying, strained family dynamics, navigating crushes and relationships as Queer couples and teens, coming out to family and friends, self-harm, eating disorders, mental illness, homophobia, transphobia, etc. I think these are just so well done and despite some of the heavy but necessary themes they touch on they always go back to the joy to be found in navigating Queer relationships.
