I’ll read/watch anything with Heartstopper in the title…

The Heartstopper Yearbook by Alice Oseman

by Leave a Comment

I’m starved for more Heartstopper content while I wait for the next season of the show to wrap up filming and production, and for the final volume of the comics to come out, so I’m at the point where I’ll take any morsels I can get. Enter The Heartstopper Yearbook. It’s part art book, part reflection on the series, part other miscellany. However, it’s 100% adorable, including the book itself, with its gold-print leaves on the cover. Whether you like her books or not, I think you have […]

Cannonball!

Solitaire by Alice Oseman

Including avoiding Solitaire altogether! Unless you want to take what seems like a lovable side-character from the Heartstopper series and completely ruin her for yourself like I did. That is the only thing I can say with certainty that this book accomplished, and I’m not exaggerating in the slightest. To Oseman’s credit, she was 17 when she wrote this, and it was her first published book. I know I wouldn’t want the novel I wrote at 17 distributed for everybody to read. Trust me, mine […]

Now I have to wait a whole ‘nother year!?

Heartstopper, Volume 4 by Alice Oseman

by Leave a Comment

Well, I was waiting for the other shoe to drop, so to speak, and Oseman to finally dive headfirst into the more serious matters she’d been dancing around. However, I don’t know that I expected it to go this far. That’s not a bad thing. I appreciate that Oseman didn’t aim to give readers some twee, PG version of these things. That would’ve been a disservice to the characters, their story, and the subject matter. Nick, Charlie, and everyone around them are in the absolute trenches in volume four. At the […]

Now I’m starting to see the differences…

Heartstopper, Volume 2 by Alice Oseman

Heartstopper, Volume 3 by Alice Oseman

Heartstopper really is just a warm hug of a series. Even when I know where things are going already, having seen the television show already, I’m not about to turn down that comforting, familiar squeeze. Volume two continues the trend of having most of the same beats as the show, but gone is a lot of what the show added in to heighten the drama. Basically, it’s fewer anxious moments and a faster happy ending, which I see nothing wrong with. Perhaps some of those […]

Heartstopper indeed

Heartstopper by Alice Oseman

Like nearly everyone with Netflix, I watched Heartstopper, the hype surrounding it on Twitter inescapable. For a while, I’d written it off; however, it reached a critical mass after a while and I had to at least give it a trial run. That trial run turned into a full-season marathon and many unsuccessful attempts to stage a rewatch with my fiancee joining me this time. Naturally then, a read through of the books that started it all was bound to follow at some point. Starting with […]

A really sweet and heart-warming comic about gay teens

Heartstopper, vol 1 by Alice Oseman

Heartstopper, vol 2 by Alice Oseman

Heartstopper, vol 3 by Alice Oseman

by 1 Comment

Heartstopper, vol 1: 4.5 stars Charlie, a highly-strung, openly gay over-thinker, and Nick, a cheerful, soft-hearted rugby player, meet at a British all-boys grammar school. Friendship blooms quickly, but could there be something more…?   Charlie Spring is in Year 10 at Truham Grammar School for Boys. The past year hasn’t been too great, but at least he’s not being bullied anymore. Nick Nelson is in Year 11 and on the school rugby team. He’s heard a little about Charlie – the kid who was […]
