☁️ Every time I saw a comfort tag on bookstagram, I asked myself: what could I write there if I were tagged? I could never recall any book from memory that I could award with the title of “my comfort book”. However, I finally found one when I got myself a copy of Heartstopper.
🌈 This graphic novel narrates the story of how a teenage friendship slowly develops into romantic feelings. Charlie Spring, a 14-year-old, gets assigned to the same form group as Nick Nelson, an 11th-grade student who plays rugby. Charlie has already discovered that he prefers boys, and he falls for Nick almost immediately. However, Nick is still in the process of understanding his own self.
🎨 The book is incredibly cozy and comfortable. It can be read within a couple of hours, but I took my time reading it slowly to enjoy the story as long as possible. The drawings by @aliceoseman are marvelous, and I found myself admiring them for minutes, discovering more and more details.
🦋 The story itself is so beautiful! It reminds me of falling in love, when you experience butterflies in your stomach and can't help but smile every time you see the person you like. Every moment spent together feels so precious, and once you're alone, you can't stop thinking whether it's all happening for real.
💌 In summary, Heartstopper #1 was such a precious and relaxing read for me. I never imagined a book could make me so happy.
