Heartstopper: Volume Three by Alice OsemanMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
We get a deeper dive into Charlie and Nick’s relationship this time around as the boys go on a school trip to Paris! How will they keep their relationship a secret? Or do they not mind people knowing now? I liked that we get to find out a little bit more about the side characters this time around, too. And the normalization of other sexualities!! I’ll say it again, this is so refreshing to see characters being treated in a normal way. Oseman has gone to great lengths to show that all people, regardless of their sexuality, deserve to be treated fairly. This volume is not without its darker moments tho, as issues of mental health in various forms are also dealt with, but in a caring way. And as someone who is still discovering things about his own sexuality well into his 40s, the side story dealing with the feeling of loss that comes with not having known who were earlier in your life really resonated with me. This continues to be one of the best series I’ve read this year.
