Heartstopper #3: A Graphic Novel

It's been a really enjoyable series. The art and panels work so well, it really makes everything feel as if you're floating along on a cloud with these two young people in love for the first time. The dialogue feels so genuine, especially the cute inside jokes. It almost feels like listening in to a private romantic conversation, but it feels so real that my heart soars with the characters. As with the previous volumes, the story does a great job of introducing difficult subjects and dealing with them in realistic and helpful ways that actually act as good examples for teens navigating the confusing process of a first relationship and their unique experience. The author really writes these characters like she knows them. It is just so cute and romantic. I'm excited to watch the new show, but it's hard to imagine it can live up to the comic. This story was made for this medium.

Love love love. I love these books. The book came in perfect condition.

I'm pretty much devouring this series and HEARTSTOPPER VOL 3 makes for a great addition. Charlie and Nick are officially dating but haven't come out to their friends yet. But a school trip to Paris provides them the opportunity to learn more about each other, both the happy and the sad. There are some heavier topics addressed in this volume and they're not fully explored or resolved (since the story isn't over) but I liked that Oseman has her characters at least talking about their struggles and starting to reach out. I also enjoyed seeing the relationships between Tara and Darcy, Tao and Elle, and even the two teachers chaperoning the trip.

Every book in this series is incredible. They are fast reads with a comic/graphic novel layout, and these characters are so supportive and wholesome. I never thought “wholesome” would be what I look for, but it’s been an amazing counter to all the bonkers stuff in the world. I’d recommend these books to anyone!

Amazing book(s), love this series!

This series holds a special place in my heart. I just want to read them all over and over again. They begin to hit on some more mature subjects, and does so in a great way. Love, love, love.

"There’s this idea that if you’re not straight, you have to tell all your family and friends immediately, like you owe it to them. But you don’t. You don’t have to do anything until you’re ready.“ (S.665) Diesen Band und Band 4 habe ich förmlich inhaliert, da man sie einfach nicht zur Seite legen kann. Diesmal werden auch ernstere Töne angeschlagen, die der Geschichte noch mehr Tiefe verleihen. Doch die Gewichtung von schweren Themen und einer fluffigen Liebesgeschichte waren gelungen ausgeglichen, sodass die Geschichte nie ihre Leichtigkeit verlor. Das Cover: Auf dem Gewand von Volume zwei noch heimlich am Händchenhalten – nun für alle sichtbar. Das helle und fröhliche Gelb macht direkt Lust, die Geschichte aufzuschlagen und sich von der Wohlfühlatmosphäre einlullen zu lassen. Die Handlung: Diesmal verschlägt es die geliebten Charaktere in die Stadt der Liebe: Paris. Zwischen beeindruckenden Ausflügen in den Louvre oder Zimmerpartys, begleitet man die Freund:innen bei ihrem Alltag. Nick und Charlie schweben weiterhin auf Wolke sieben, auch wenn sie mit den ersten Hürden in einer Beziehung konfrontiert werden. Meine Meinung: Dieser Band hat sich mit jeder weiteren Seite in mein Herz geschlichen. Sie ist voller Wärme, neuen Erfahrungen und dennoch lässt Alice Oseman ernste Untertöne mit in die Geschichte einfließen. Hier wurde die gesamte Gefühlspalette bedient, die mich noch immer gern an die Geschichte zurückdenken lässt. In meinen Augen merkt man zu den vorherigen Bänden eine kleine Steigerung, die mich noch mehr in die Geschichte eintauchen ließ. Mein einziger Kritikpunkt stellt die Länge bzw. Kürze der Geschichte dar. Es wirkte an manchen Stellen etwas zu beschleunigt – ich hatte mir tatsächlich noch ein wenig Seiten mehr gewünscht. Doch vielleicht ist das auch einfach nur ein egoistischer Wunsch, da ich die Charaktere einfach noch nicht loslassen möchte. Die Charaktere: Das erste Mal werden neue Seiten in der Beziehung von Nick und Charlie aufgezeigt. Sie werden mit Themen konfrontiert, mit welchen bestimmt viele Menschen im Alltag zu kämpfen haben. Man fühlt so sehr bei den beiden mit – wirklich bewundernswert, wie Alice Osemans Zeichnungen so viele Emotionen hervorrufen können. Doch auch Tao, Elle, Tara, Darcy, Aled, Mr Ajayi und Mr Farouk haben die Geschichte bereichert und sorgen für viele schöne und lustige Momente. Eine neue anbahnende Liebesgeschichte konnte mich hierbei besonders mitfiebern lassen. Fazit: Für mich das Highlight der Reihe bisher. Band 4 war nur minimal schwächer, doch immer noch absolut berührend. Von mir gibt es hier 4,5/5 Sternen und eine Leseempfehlung.

Niestety, ale rant książki jest ubrudzony, a sam róg zagięty - nie jest to feedback do autorki, ale do wysyłki przez Amazon.

Orginal copy ❤️

Gripped from the first page. I’m not normally a fan of the graphic novel format, but after a couple of pages it had me hooked. I forgot that I was reading a picture/comic book and the heart warming story took over. The book tells such a sweet story of innocent young love with all its shyness, embarrassment, humour and awkwardness and is incredibly relatable for anyone who is or ever has been a teenager with a crush. Beautifully done. It’s addictive reading; both myself and my 12 year old daughter enjoyed the whole series immensely. As a cautious mum, I would highly recommend reading for preteens. It deals with young romance in a sensitive and age appropriate way, encouraging mutual respectful and unrushed, considerate behaviour within relationships. Fantastically refreshing to have the two protagonists as a homosexual couple of young boys, a lesbian couple and a trans girl. Such cute characters and relatable no matter your sexual identity or orientation. Later novels in the series deal with serious topics such as eating disorders and anxiety in a sensible and informative way. Gripping reading with relevant and current themes for a preteen/teen but handled in a safe and cautious way. Not only encourages acceptance of diversity, but makes it impossible not to fall in love with this quirky group of friends and their experiences and adventures. Love love love 🥰

It’s so heartwarming and such an incredibly beautiful book! The book series itself is so good and I’ve cried flood’s reading through it💗💗 It’s starting to feature kinda dark subjects now which is good and all but maybe not so much when it comes my mental happiness haha! 😅💚💛🧡 it did arrive damaged and so did the one I got after returning the first one but I’ll live with that because I really want tho books!
