Heartstopper: Volume Four: 10/21/22

Heartstopper: Volume Two

Heartstopper: Volume Four by Alice Oseman (2021) is the penultimate volume in this graphic novel series. The book opens with Nick thinking back on the time Charlie has spent away getting treatment for his eating disorder.

After a bunch of scenes to catch us up on what has happened between the end of Volume 3 and the start of this one. On the one hand it's good to see Charlie getting help. On the other hand volume three and four feel so damn manipulative.

What saved this volume for me was the dinner where the two families meet. Nick's brother is an ass and breaks his phone. Nick, though, has grown a lot in the time Charlie was away and stands up to his brother. Thankfully his mother supports Nick.

The final volume releases sometime in 2023.

Four stars
