4.0

This is not a Heartstopper novel, but is a novella and continuation of the story that we left in volume 5 and before volume 6 of the series! It has a few illustrations, but is written more like a traditional story with a lot of heavier and descriptive moments of angst. Buckle up and prepare for tears because the boys are growing up. This book dealt with topics from throughout the series in a head-on fashion, like depression, codependency, arguments, disordered eating and more. In the end, this is one book where Nick and Charlie have to learn to be apart in order to support each other best when they're together. We are really seeing them become adults and it's not always easy, but they always wind up happy together in the end.
