⭐ 3.75/5 ⭐
Book 5 in the Heartstopper series. Nick is looking at universities, Charlie is building his confidence and things between them are getting serious. Are they ready for the next step in their relationship.
- As always, the queer rep is spot on. I really wish these books had been around when I was a teenager and I'm glad the young people of today have such wonderful, accurate and informative representation available to them.
- I really enjoyed how Nick and Charlie's relationship was portrayed and the exploration into them wanting to have sex for the first time. I like that safety was brought up and the characters checked in emotionally with each other. Nothing graphic is shown and whilst not "fade to black" it done well.
- The artwork was really great and I loved how Oseman uses her art to show certain things like a character's inner turmoil or to imply things rather than outright draw them. This speaks to her amazing skill as an artist.
I really enjoyed this volume and I eagerly await volume 6.
