Heartstopper Volume 3, by Alice Oseman


The concerns surrounding Nick's coming out to a larger group of individuals and the two of them embarking on a school trip to Paris are further explored in "Heartstopper: Volume Three." Along with figuring out their way around a foreign location, Nick and Charlie are simultaneously revealing more about their relationship and discovering the struggles each other is dealing with on a personal level. In the meantime, Tara and Darcy continue to talk about how they first met, Tao and Elle will confront their affections for one another, and the teachers in supervision of the travel appear to get along well.

Every moment I read Heartstopper Volume 3, by Alice Oseman, my passion for the story grows stronger and my affection for Nick and Charlie deepens. The fourth book in the cycle, this volume picks up where the third book ended with a cliffhanger. For approximately a week, Nick, Charlie, and a few of their friends and classmates are going on a trip to Paris as part of a school tour. The illustrations inside this book are one of the most adorable things yet. Each character is instantly recognized and has their unique traits and appearance. Captivating facial emotions are used to communicate any atmosphere that is required for the scenario. The face structures in particular contribute greatly to the humor of the artwork.
