Heartstopper Volume 4 by Alice Oseman
5.0
This has been my favourite volume of Heartstopper so far, which is saying a lot because I've loved every single one.
What makes this volume stand out to me is the nuanced way it deals with mental illness in teenagers. It's a frank depiction and it doesn't skim over the ugly parts of mental illness the way a lot of other YA fiction has a tendency to do. I also thought the book did a good job of illustrating the complexities of being the partner of someone with a mental illness.
This one is an easy five star rating as far as I'm concerned.
