A Review of the Book "Heartstopper Volume 5" by Alice Oseman


Title: Heartstopper Volume 5
Author: Alice Oseman
Publisher: Graphix
Year: 2023
318 pages

From the Back: Nick and Charlie are 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. He wants to take their relationship to the next level...but can he find the confidence he needs? And with Nick going off to university next year, is everything about to change?

Personal Thoughts: I can't get enough of Nick and Charlie! They are such a cute couple and I just watching their story flourish in such a heart-felt way. Oseman makes it very easy to fall in love with these characters and you can feel their emotions right along with them as they toil through the decisions about school, life, and love. 

It's incredible how much story detail can be found in these simple but extremely effective drawings. Heartstopper remains the only graphic novel that I've read but it has certainly made me consider checking others out.

I can't wait to see how Nick and Charlie's story wind up in the 6th and final book!
