REVIEW: Heartstopper vol. 1 by Alice Oseman


REVIEW: Heartstopper vol. 1 by Alice Oseman 

“You can't tell whether people are gay by what they look like. And gay or straight aren't the only two options.” 


What it’s about: 

Heartstopper was originally a web comic published into a graphic novel that follows    openly gay teen Charlie and his new friendship with rugby-player Nick that are seated together in their form group. Charlie was outed at school a year ago and suffered bullying which has now mostly halted. Nick knows about Charlie’s outing but not much more. They grow to become close friends but Charlie realizes his feeling for Nick are more than friendship. But Nick is straight.... right? 

My thoughts:

Okay firstly this was so cute I almost burst from reading it. I was literally holding back squeals with each page. The art style is simple but very telling. I loved the way small details about each character were revealed not only through the dialogue but the art as well. Charlie is so relatable and I want to hug him. Nick! THE PUREST!!! I related to him a lot too. Also! I loved the family dynamics in the story a lot. I couldn’t believe how fast I read the first volume it was so addicting. I really enjoyed how the author tackles a lot of important issues from bullying, sexuality, friendship, family, and so so so much more. The character diversity was great too. I literally have no complaints! I definitely recommend this to everyone even those who don’t typically read comics or graphic novels! 

Rating: ★★★★★
