"Sorry to interrupt your very obvious flirting, BUT..."

(That's so me 😅)

*Okies, that is one perfect kissing scene there! Make me feel single all you want. Nick and Charlie, I give you two the whole galaxy kinda permission.

And that bum booping though ☺️

✨Alice Oseman, you're saving the world and ME!

What's new?

Nick's coming out.

I love their parents.
They are so understanding except the "hanky panky" parts 🤣

But then *groan* Nick's brother. I wish David would just F.O.

And yes, I love Tara Jones and Darcy Olsen. Perfect OTP. EVER.

This volume is as super cute as the last volume but this one is more intense and there's more stories than just Charlie's and Nick's.
This particular volume describes about a Paris trip.

The series has become more intense in the sense that both the main characters are becoming more mature, taking things in their stride with much understanding and they come out much braver.

This series is becoming more and more interesting because of the fact that it showcases very important issues related to the generation today regarding mental health issues where one of the main characters is dealing with eating disorders and depression with suicidal tendencies. It also shows how a person can deal with homophobia and how important it's to have the support of the people who we trust no matter how few they are.

I seriously cannot wait for the next volume as it seems it will become more intense and I am sure it will mainly deal with eating disorders and the characters becoming more open and honest with each other.

Damn my damn heart. It's all so soft and vibrating at the moment.

“There's this idea that if you're not straight, you have to tell all your family and friends immediately, like you owe it to them. But you don't. You don't have to do anything until you're ready.”

I adore everything that Alice Oseman writes and Heartstopper is no exception. Obviously. It's so wholesome and heart-warming, so cute and lovely. It's a feel-good read, for sucky days and happy days alike. Something to make a sunny day brighter and something to hide under the covers with when you can't stand anything else. Heartstopper is a lifesaver.

I am so proud of Alice. I was really excited when I first heard of a book called Solitaire that was going to be released soon, by an author barely older than myself. And I've devoured everything Alice published since then. I liked Radio Silence even better than her debut, and I fell completely in love with I Was Born for This. Then, of course, there are Nick & Charlie. When I saw that Hearstopper: Volume Three had snatched a place on the British Children's bestselling list, I felt so proud. Not only is this Alice's 6th book, it's also a) a graphic novel about b) queer teens and c) the third book in a series. The chances of a book like this to land on the Sunday Times best-selling list isn't very high. But with an ever-growing, super devoted fandom and Alice's loveliness and talent, anything is possible. I hope that the studio that bought the film rights to this series will take this as a sign and hurry up with finding a screenwriter, director, cast, etc. and just give us what we deserve.

The volume itself was really cute. Overall it's fantastic that we get so much queer rep, even if some narrow-minded people might call it unrealistic. It makes me happy to see ace, trans, gay, bi, lesbian, and more characters living and loving and flourishing. It makes me happy to see a healthy discussion about sexuality, relationships and mental health. I love that these books are on bookshelves in stores and libraries and teenagers have access to them, can learn from them, see themselves in them, find hope in them.

I do feel that, while it's all cute and funny, some moments are somewhat exaggerated. I mean, that much drama about a single hickey? Then again, maybe I'm forgetting what it was like to be 16 (and while I personally would have been o v e r d r a m a t i c should I have had a hickey, I doubt anyone else would have given a single...well).

I so look forward to Volume 4, but my most anticipated release is Loveless. I'm honestly so excited.

Just when I think I can’t fall in love with this series anymore, Alice Oseman pulls this one out of the bag!

Heartstopper volume 3 returns to the lives of Charlie and Nick. Shortly after their school exams are over they take a school trip to Paris! Giving them the opportunity to spend more time together and to be more open with their classmates.

These graphic novels make me feel so incredibly nostalgic. Reading this one brought back happy memories of school trips I’ve been on over my school years. I do love a book that is based entirely/partly in another country, so I really enjoyed that aspect of this story. I found myself having to keep putting the book down because my emotions kept getting the better of me whilst I was reading!

I will always be shouting about these books! Every single book has incredibly important representation for the LGBT+ community and discussions of bullying. What I particularly loved about this book was that it tackled other important topics that teenagers may face, Including eating disorders and a nudge at consent too! Yes, there is some bad language in these books, but I think that can add to the relatability to young people. I honestly cannot rave about the importance of these enough!

I recommend this series to young adult readers or anyone who fancies reading a graphic novel with LGBT+ representation!

I don’t think this series will ever not be a 5 star when you love the characters so much. Again, another volume that deals with some tough issues and I’m looking forward to seeing how those issues are dealt with going forward. Love Nick and Charlie so, so much!

Recently I re-read all four volumes of Heartstopper that have been released so far to celebrate the release of the Netflix TV show. Filled with spoilers and squealing at my favourite couple in my favourite graphic novel series ever: https://youtu.be/5uAcHjS54NE

In this volume, the author is trying to discuss more serious mental health topics like self-harm and eating disorders. She delineates the steps in the support, healing, and recovery of it. The author also breaks many myths associated with sexuality.

My favorite three lines from this book.
“It really surprised me how many people are still homophobic.”


“The bullying was really bad and I started to believe what they were saying.”


“I can’t believe all of this happened because you gave me a love bite.”


The concept of homophobia and how we should tackle it are relevant topics everyone should know. The author also tries to explore more profoundly regrading the life of LGBT individuals. The author attempts to discuss all these through an exciting Paris trip involving Charlie, Nick, and his friends. We can see most of the tourist spots in Paris in this volume. This series is getting stronger and stronger as it progresses.
