Heartstopper Volume 2 by Alice Oseman
4.0
"I like Charlie Spring! In a romantic way not just a friend way!"
I liked the first volume so much that I picked up the second one right away!
I loved the way that Alice showed how Nick comes with terms with his sexuality and how hard it actually is. And it also explored the theme of dating someone who isn't out yet. His scene with his mum made me sob so much (even more in the TV adaptation) it felt like a hug to me. My mum never said these things to me, it's just something that every kid who remembers the fear of the anticipation of coming out to their parents and not knowing how they are going to react needs to hear.
Also, I loved that we saw more of Charlie's friends. Especially Tara and Darcy it makes my heart swell in happiness seeing my sexuality being so beautifully shown without any sexualizing, it just means so much to me.
The whole series so far has the right amount of light-reading and feel-good material and makes me hope that, i too, can find true love one day.
