Summary:

Charlie Spring is in Year 10 and one of the only guys in his school to come out as gay. That puts a lot of pressure on such a young soul. Then he met Nick. Nick is the best friend he’s always needed…and maybe more? Is there a chance that this could be more than friendship? Charlie can only hope.

Nick has never had a friend like Charlie. In truth, their friendship is making him rethink…well…pretty much everything.

Review:

Once again, I can see why people love Heartstopper. The second volume is just as good as the first, if not better. This series is perfect if you’re looking for something sweet, emotional, and very human/relatable.

Heartstopper Vol. 2 brings back our two favorite characters; only their relationship is changing. Nick and Charlie were instantly best friends, but there is so much room for their relationship to grow. This causes Nick to spiral a bit, as he had thought he knew where his sexuality lays. Anyone who has ever questioned their sexuality will undoubtedly understand what Nick must be going through.

I loved reading about their journey and cannot wait to read more. This series is perfection, and nobody can convince me otherwise.
