Trigger Warnings: discussion of mental health, eating disorders, and sexual references
In this volume of Heartstopper, Charlie must persuade his mum to let him sleep over at Nick’s house, but he’s also got to get passed all his tests. Meanwhile, Nick is going off to university next year, is
I went most of this year thinking this was going to be the final installment of the Heartstopper series, but then Alice Oseman says we’ll get one more. Now I have a little more time to prepare myself. And also to get it set up on hopefully a physical copy of it so I don’t have to wait on the back order my library has and then setting on a digital copy. Nothing was going to stop me from reading this story as soon as I possibly could!!
As always, the boys were adorable and so supportive of each other. I would love to wrap them both in blankets and let them be cute and adorable together always. It still makes me happy about the friend support everyone gives each other - even sometimes with the tough love or the hard questions, it was also with love.
We also got a hint at Tori and her story in this too. I haven’t officially read her stories yet, but they are on my Shortlist TBR.
Overall - I’m going to be recommending this series until the day I die, so there is no question here if I like it or not. I loved it.

Well I thought this was the last volume, but apparently there’s going to be one more. I was glad to see Charlie doing well and Nick working towards coming in to his own; these boys are lovely, and this one was all about the love (and yay for Tori too!).

The good news: This is NOT the final volume as previously reported.
The bad news: Now next volume is the final volume!
Nick and Charlie continue on with their loving relationship even as post-high school plans start to come together and the topic of sex becomes the elephant in the room.

More heartstopper fluff. I'm pleased this one is a bit less dark than the 4th one. Gentle angst, about exams, and which universities to apply to, and how far to go with your partner, and being brave enough to play in the band. Definitely a cliff hanger ending though, and oh, how will they cope long

In this volume, Charlie and Nick are having to confront upcoming changes in their lives. Nick is considering university options and the possibility of a long distance relationship with Charlie. Charlie is still working on his body image issues and his eating disorder, although he's doing much
After the bucketloads of anxiety that was volume 4, this volume was relatively low stress. Both Charlie and Nick are at a point in their lives where they're being forced to think about who they are outside of their relationship - especially Nick, who doesn't have a lot of people besides Charlie with whom he feels comfortable talking to honestly about his feelings. Luckily, both of the guys are better able to handle these issues than they initially realize. They also both have good and supportive people around them.
There's a bit of a subplot involving Tori, who comes out as asexual and has her own worries about relationships. I suspect that's fleshed out more in Oseman's Solitaire, which I haven't read.
All in all, a very good volume.
Extras:
An Osemanverse timeline that lays when various works in this world (Heartstopper volumes, Solitaire, "This Winter" novella) take place and how much time they cover.
