Heartstopper Volume 5

honestly, such a cute series and can’t wait to see how everything ties together in the end. the characters are very lovable and seeing how they go thorough their problems in a realistic but healthy way is refreshing.

covers so many important topics for teenagers in a lovely way

Heartstopper makes me want to kick my feet in the air and giggle

Honestly, I think this one is my favorite so far! It was cuter and I loved how Nick made sure Charlie didn’t feel pressured to show himself knowing it was a lot for him to overcome and he needed to take it slow :)

I usually don’t read comics but these books are so cute and wholesome with real problems in them. So glad the author is showing that it’s okay to be different :) With that being said… this is not my favorite heartstopper book but it is still pretty good.

i love this universe and these characters! it did feel like not much happened in this book and i was a bit disappointed with some of the choices, but overall cute as always!

Thank goodness I’m finished these! NEVER again!

What a complete and utter waste of money. Nothing happened in any of the books that was even memorable.

Let’s not forget how CRINGE-WORTHY these ‘books’ were. Nothing anyone said was realistic and it was quite frankly, the worst series I’ve ever read in my life. Maybe it’s because it’s a graphic novel, I don’t know.

Never reading these again. Please people save your money and read something that’s worthy of being published.

I can’t believe so many poor trees have been chopped down to create these, what a waste!😤

I think I’ve read this online years ago back when she uploaded them on her website but still enjoyed it

Pia 

It’s so good I think that sometimes u just need to read a heart stopper book and they are always so good this is also one of the only book to tv adaptations that I think is good 

Stella

I prefer other books in the series to this one but I love heartstopper so yes

Hannah

Felt rushed compared to some of the other comics. I didn’t love it. It was sweet but I liked the other books better. I wish it had been a bit more educational for young teens regarding prep/gay sex but she made a good attempt. I thought Charlie’s heart to heart with his mom was interesting. Charlie gained sm confidence in this book which was great to see- his advice for his sister was great. Head boy & rocker boy so cute. I thought it was a good angle with Nick not knowing who he is without Charlie and realizing he needs to discover that on his own. 

Kelsey 

Probably my favorite chapter/volume. The queer joy was everything, with Nick and the girls in particular. These are the stories we need and I’ll be patiently waiting for chapter 8!

I forgot that I had pre-ordered this so it might as well contribute to my reading goal.

I was watching (had in the background while working) the second season of th TV show when it occurred to me how... boring this has become. Never had I appreciated miscommunication and conflict (and I include here subtle conflicts here; conflict as a literary tool and not as a physical manifestation of the concept) as narrative devices. Everyone has their issues and trauma but communicates them so very, very well. Oh wow.

Two things: 1. Authors should get off of online spaces or should at least forget about their digital print while writing. 2. Sure it is sweet and wholesome and that is not a bad thing. But it becomes a bad thing when it overstays its welcome (and it becomes boring).

I appreciate that this is for younger audiences is my only disclaimer here.

Writing a Review for a Graphic novel is a Difficult task especially when it’s an Heartstopper volume because this Graphic novel really means a lot and will always always have a place in my heart. I can say that this one does not disappoint at all, It has everything in there, Fantastic story progression and every page brought me so much joy and made my cry in places as well!

There are no other characters that make me feel more at home and comforted than the Heartstopper characters, even after all these years of me being with them and this story and I am not ready for the final volume
