I am a huge fan of Charlie and Nick’s relationship!!! I love how well Charlie’s ED was handled. I absolutely adore the friendships and growth seen in this book and I would love for Tori to have her own series one day! Can’t wait to read more volumes of this great series 💓 P.S. As a Black woman, I truly appreciate the attention to detail when it comes to the different styles Tara wears according to the weather/scenario. A++++

This book managed to make me smile and nearly cry in worries so many times. TORI REALLY IS THE BEST SISTER ANYONE WOULD WISH FOR! I sure can relate to their problems and experiences even if their seem to get better faster. Same way I never had caring teachers or friends like that... I really can't wait for the next comic book. Cheeryo mates as I don't know what else to write in post it. Lol darn minimal posting.

Nick and Charlie really go through growth individually and as a couple as they deal with some heavy mental health topics. The relationships are solid between each other, their friends, and their families. Well handled and just as sweet as the rest, Nick and Charlie are a great couple!

No puedo creer que acaba de salir, la he devorado en poco tiempo y YA QUIERO MASSS!!! Alice Oseman es tu culpa! Por crear esta dicción por Hartstopper en mi! … No pero ya en serio, léanlo! Todos los 4 volúmenes, son increíbles! Y esta me encanto mas en especial por que Alice Oseman exploró más la importancia de la salud mental y de la importancia de ser tratado. Creo que es un excelente ejemplo con el que cualquiera se puede sentir identificado y también es una excelente idea para dar los primeros pasos a mejorar la salud mental de cada quien. Por último; Alice Oseman, NO NOS HAGAS ESPERAR MUCHO PARA EL VOLUMEN 5!

I absolutely love this graphic novel. Even with the heavy content explored in this volume (content warnings for ED, mental illness, & self-harm) it’s still just a sweet, wholesome, and heartwarming love story. Nick and Charlie’s journey in this issue is even more powerful, and there were moments that spoke to me — and made me cry pretty hard — in a truly relatable way. The stories of Charlie and Nick’s friends are wonderful too. While they’re side characters, they feel like more than that and the way they all support each other is wonderful. I hope that at some point we get some more of the other characters. I’d love to see more of Charlie’s sister Tori though that’s just one example. While I’m bummed that volume 5 will be the final chapter of Charlie and Nick’s story? I can’t wait to devour it just as I did this one. Guess it’s also time to start purchasing the physical versions for my shelves.
