i decided to reread this because, honestly, i was in a terrible reading slump and i felt like i needed to find something i could read in one sitting. plus, since its pride month and the second season of the show is being released in a few months, heartstopper felt like the perfect choice.

im not the target audience for this series so i can't relate to all of nick and charlie's experiences. however, im still glad this story exists because it's just what some queer teens might need. also, since this is a graphic novel i really did not mind the "no plot just vibes", which i usually struggle to read. 

and ofc, alice's artstyle is so pretty. i just love it so much. i think i am going to keep rereading their other volumes and i really hope it helps me get over my reading slump, lmao.
