🗼 In the third book of the series, we follow Nick and Charlie on their school trip to Paris. They are now officially a couple, but they find themselves confronted with the challenging task of keeping their relationship secret. Throughout this trip, they continue to get to know each other better, and we also have the opportunity to learn more about other characters in the book, including Tara and Darcy, Tao and Elle, Aled, and many more.
🏳️🌈 This part of the story focuses on the challenges of coming out. Unfortunately, even in today's society, LGBTQA+ individuals still face difficulties in fully expressing themselves. Coming out is not a one-time event; it is a continuous process. And while some people, such as Nick's mother and their friends, can be supportive, others, like Nick's brother and some classmates, can be violent and harmful.
❤️🩹 That's why this book addresses the topic of mental health extensively. It tackles stigmatized issues like self-harm and eating disorders, shedding light on their existence and seriousness. Alice Oseman does a fantastic job of raising awareness about these matters.
☀️ "Heartstopper #3" is an exceptionally well-crafted work that made me feel like I was part of Nick and Charlie's close-knit group of friends. It is a heartwarming and delightful read, touching on important themes, and providing a wonderful and relaxing experience.
🏳️⚧️ Last, but not least, the book has a bonus in the end: a short story about Elle’s first day at the girl’s grammar school after her coming out as a trans girl.
