This sequel to the first Heartstopper graphic novel did not disappoint. I couldn't stop reading! I cannot wait for the 3rd volume. I've never read a series quite like it and the writing and artwork says it all. It really makes this series one-of-a-kind and so heartwarming.

Heartstopper is absolutely heartwarming. Charming and full of heart it is a wonderful story. Though the story is simple and done many times before, this is no way detracts from the enjoyment of reading it. The artwork is particularly cute. All around a beautiful piece when you need something good.

Ha sido un giro muy dulce, pero cuando digo dulce puede que incluso llegue a dar empache. Bueno ese ha sido en mi caso, pero, no por eso no estoy diciendo que la historia entre Nick y Charlie pierda el encanto y la ternura

I love seeing more of the story focused on Nick for part two, and his coming out. While I love Charlie's story, Nick's shift over the course of this story was refreshing and interesting. There's definitely a lot of growth here, and showing how someone deals with sexuality in the wake of misunderstanding or downright homophobic, biphobic friends is well-handled. This left me wanting part 3, and with the inclusion of a story of two side characters, left me wanting an entire graphic novel series about them as well.

Wonderfully honest and endearing graphic novel about two teenage boys in love and the struggles that come with it. This second book of the Heartstopper series unfolds in a slow but steady pace. I liked that it touches many of the problems that teenagers face when they have to endure peer pressure, first love, and their questions about their own place in society. A second love story is also included, regarding a non-binary and lesbian couple. The drawings are precious and support the story in the most complimentary way. We cannot wait for part 3! Four thumbs up from a mother and and a curious tween.
