Heartstopper Volume 4 is the fourth installment in the acclaimed Heartstopper series written by Alice Oseman.

In this volume, Charlie struggles with an
eating disorder
, which Nick suspects, but is nervous to approach him about. Nick is also dealing with his own issues; most notably, coming out to his father. 

Of course, I have nothing but amazing things to say about the books in this series. I enjoyed this volume a lot. I liked seeing how strong Nick and Charlie's relationship has gotten throughout the series. The pair finally
said I love you to each other
, which made me smile so much. I also enjoyed Nick
standing up to his brother and father
, Tori
threatening Nick's brother, David
, and watching Charlie and Nick grow closer and trust each other. Additionally, I enjoyed seeing Mr. Farouk and Mr. Ajayi
end up as a couple, and the little mini-comic that outlined the 'firsts' in their relationship.
I would absolutely love a spin-off comic that would solely be about those two. 

I am almost done with the entire series. I sort of look forward to watching the tv show as well (I'm only hesitant because of the casting :/).
