Heartstopper: Volume Five


I always keep up to date on Alice Oseman's "Heartstopper" on Webtoon. But the paperback published edition recently came out in the US. I finally got around to reading that edition as well. Here's "Heartstopper: Volume Five."

["Boy meets boy. Boys become friends. Boys fall in love. The bestselling LGBTQ+ graphic novel about life, love, and everything that happens in between: this is the fifth volume of the much-loved Heartstopper series.

Nick and Charlie are very much in love. They've finally said those three little words, and Charlie has almost persuaded his mum to let him sleep over at Nick's house ... But with Nick going off to university next year, is everything about to change?"]

I fucking loooooove Nick and Charlie. They're sweet and supportive and communicative and happy and open and beautiful and just work. They're happy and Hallmark-y and not-perfect. That's what's perfect about Heartstopper. 

If you're well-verse in the Heartstopper universe, you know that this book and the college/love/sex struggles they have here will all end happily. If you read "Solitaire," you'll recognize Micheal (Tori's not-a-boyfriend); if you read "Nick and Charlie," you know how the end of Nick's 12th year ends. 

I'm not sure where Heartstopper will go from here (Chalrie's 12th hear and Nick's first year at uni? Nick and Charlie at uni together? Post uni life? The timeline of Nick and Charlie but graphic novel? Solitaire but graphic novel?), but I'm all here for it. After Alice's much needed and muuuuuuuch deserved break. 

Trigger Warnings: mental health struggles, eating disorders, and more.
