Heartstopper Volume 3 by Alice Oseman

5.0

Just when I think I can’t fall in love with this series anymore, Alice Oseman pulls this one out of the bag!

Heartstopper volume 3 returns to the lives of Charlie and Nick. Shortly after their school exams are over they take a school trip to Paris! Giving them the opportunity to spend more time together and to be more open with their classmates.

These graphic novels make me feel so incredibly nostalgic. Reading this one brought back happy memories of school trips I’ve been on over my school years. I do love a book that is based entirely/partly in another country, so I really enjoyed that aspect of this story. I found myself having to keep putting the book down because my emotions kept getting the better of me whilst I was reading!

I will always be shouting about these books! Every single book has incredibly important representation for the LGBT+ community and discussions of bullying. What I particularly loved about this book was that it tackled other important topics that teenagers may face, Including eating disorders and a nudge at consent too! Yes, there is some bad language in these books, but I think that can add to the relatability to young people. I honestly cannot rave about the importance of these enough!

I recommend this series to young adult readers or anyone who fancies reading a graphic novel with LGBT+ representation!
