Another fantastic book in the Heartstopper universe! This one is all about Nick choosing a university and maybe going away for college in the next year while he and Charlie try to take the next step in their relationship.
I still love the art style for this series. It's so cute and fun and cozy and that all fits the story in general. I will always love Nick and Charlie's relationship and how much they check in with each other and talk to each other even if it's hard.
I thought the sex topic was done really well. Very true to how teenagers would act and react when adults would try to make sure they're being safe. And the art was done so well for those scenes too. It was very appropriate while still conveying the emotions of the scenes.
I am so excited to see where the last book takes us!
I hope Nick gets to go to the school he wants and that the long distance won't be too much for both of them.
