- Loveable characters? It's complicated
3.0
I love the Oseman-verse, especially Nick and Charlie's story, but I'm really glad I didn't start with this book as I might not have picked up any others. I should have known from the 'Catcher in the Rye' comparison as that book just irritated me. This one wasn't quite on that level but I still didn't feel a lot for any of the characters. I tried to make myself like Tori more because I had already been introduced to her in Heartstopper, but it didn't come easily. I probably won't revisit this one.
Graphic: Self harm, Suicidal thoughts, and Suicide attempt
Moderate: Eating disorder and Homophobia
