Heartstopper (Volume Two)

Alice Oseman2019
Boy meets boy. Boys become friends. Boys fall in love. An LGBTQ+ graphic novel about life, love, and everything that happens in between: this is the second volume of HEARTSTOPPER, for fans of the Art of Being Normal, Holly Bourne and Love, Simon. *Includes exclusive TaraDarcy story!* Absolutely delightful. Sweet, romantic, kind. Beautifully paced. I loved this book. RAINBOW ROWELL, author of Carry On Nick and Charlie are best friends. Nick knows Charlies gay, and Charlie is sure that Nick isnt. But love works in surprising ways, and Nick is discovering all kinds of things about his friends, his family . . . and himself. Heartstopper is about friendship, loyalty and mental illness. It encompasses all the small stories of Nick and Charlies lives that together make up something larger, which speaks to all of us. the queer graphic novel we wished we had at high school. Gay Times This is the second volume of Heartstopper, which has now been optioned for television by See-Saw Films.

It was very sweet. I'm glad the issue from the last volume didn't drag out like it could have. I am enjoying Nick's self discovery and Charlie's friends are a delight. Can't wait to read more!

—5/5 ˖ ݁𖥔 ݁˖ just too pure for this world. The way Nick is figuring himself out?? Chef’s kiss. It’s like every scene makes my heart explode, and don’t even get me started on that kiss at the beach… PERFECTION!!! Also, the way this tackles real issues but still manages to keep everything light and cute? I’m obsessed

It’s pretty cool that Nick’s mom had her suspicions the whole time and didn’t try to push Nick for confirmation.

I came into this one feeling a little low and it totally cheered me up. I was about to leave it for another time because I was scared my mood was gonna mess up the novel but it was totally the opposite. Now I am going to bed feeling lighthearted and totally happy. I just love Alice Oseman’s work. This comic is just something else for me!

** spoiler alert ** In the Netflix version, there's a lot of extra drama tossed in to keep Nick from deciding he actually loves Charlie. Much of this comes from expanding the distrust Tao feels for Nick. Tao goes from being a skeptical but protective friend to being an absolutely toxic, almost stalker all to pad out the back half of a series. In the comic, though, more time is spent on scenes with just Charlie and Nick. There's time for the to talk and work through things at their own pace. It feels natural and organic. http://pussreboots.com/blog/2022/comm...

I know we all love reading to escape from reality. But if I could choose a book/series to could live in, it would be this. My gosh, I wish it was this easy to just love whoever you want to love. I wish we could all tell our loved ones about the people we love without fear of being disowned or looked down upon. aaa thank you again Alice Oseman for being my comfort writer. Your books never fail to make me feel seen and valid :’)

ai meu Deus, esse é com certeza o meu volume preferido até agora!!! Eu sou tão apaixonada por esse casal!!! A jornada de Nick tem sido a coisa mais linda de acompanhar, eu só quero ver ele feliz sempre 🥲 É muito refrescante ler histórias “clichês” e fofinhas que envolvam casais LGBTQ+, espero cada vez mais encontrar livros assim. Quero ler o próximo AGORA mas ao mesmo tempo não quero terminar nem tão cedo essa série perfeita 🥺

This is soo much more that what I have expected before. You'll get to see their cute moments together. You'll get to experience each emotions and experience that they're going through. You'll have so much more in this book that the last volume. Happy reading, booknerds! 🤗❤️

Don't feel like you need to come out to anyone until you feel ready. Rumours spread so fast around our schools...That can be really hard to deal with if you barely know who you are.
