brithebookbabe 's review for:

Heartstopper Volume 5 by Alice Oseman

5.0

---

I'm not too certain how to write a review for a graphic novel. Normally I do NOT like graphic novels. They are too quick of a read for me. I am someone who is a sucker for details. The more details the better. And with that being said, Heartstopper vol 1-5 were absolutely worth the read. I started my downward spiral into the beautiful love lives of Nick and Charlie via the Netflix tv show, and my wife purchased the novels for me for my birthday. I read them all in one night. I laughed, I cried, I smiled, and everything in between. My heart aches for the love that is shown in Alice Oseman's writing style and graphic art. They really know how to tug at my heart strings. Also, the representation in all of her graphic novels and novellas... incredible. It is incredible important for LGBTQ+ to see representation of themselves in the media, and I applaud Alice for being able to depict it in such a beautiful way. Well done. Bravo. I am at a loss of words.
TLDR: PLEASE READ THESE!
