A review by olivehunter
Heartstopper Volume 1 by Alice Oseman

3.0

3.25 I remember now reread what urked me about these books and about the beginning of this story. It is so stereotypical in some ways ig. Like FR i can tell thé person who wrote this isnt a gay man nor man at all who likes other men. Like idk it’s just ever time they referenced to how small and weak and unsporty charlie was in comparison to how Big nick is makes ewwwww. It’s just like what they do in straight romance books which I also hate. I will say tho i understand the emphasis on Charlie’s lightness and weakness is important for the development of his issues with food but it just really reads at the beginning like I’m so weak and I need a big strong man
