“I love Nick. I love Nick so, so much. But what I’ve realised through all of this is that we need other people too. Siblings. Parents. Friends. More friends. A therapist. Even teachers, sometimes. That doesn’t mean our relationship isn’t strong. If anything… I think we’re stronger now.” – 5/5 stars!

Attention! This book contains: eating disorders, beach days, coming out, the three words, depression, self-harm, an emotional rollercoaster and a lot of love.

Boy meets boy. Boys become friends. Boys fall in love. The bestselling LGBTQ+ graphic novel about life, love, and everything that happens in between: this is the fourth volume of HEARTSTOPPER, for fans of The Art of Being Normal, Holly Bourne and Love, Simon.

Charlie didn’t think Nick could ever like him back, but now they’re officially boyfriends. Charlie’s beginning to feel ready to say those three little words: I love you.

Nick’s been feeling the same, but he’s got a lot on his mind – not least coming out to his dad, and the fact that Charlie might have an eating disorder.

As summer turns to autumn and a new school year begins, Charlie and Nick are about to learn a lot about what love means.

Heartstopper is about love, friendship, loyalty and mental illness. It encompasses all the small stories of Nick and Charlie’s lives that together make up something larger, which speaks to all of us.

This is the fourth volume of Heartstopper, which has now been optioned for television by See-Saw Films.

Definitely the most emotional and serious book of the series.

Even though I feel like the series has changed a lot – in terms of the story and character development, and evident changes in focus -, I still think this installment was amazing. I’m still very invested in the characters and their story! There’s definitely many cutesy moments as one can expect from this series, but the focus of the story is on the serious topics.

Alice Oseman does an amazing job portraying the topics described in the book in a very healthy manner, which includes eating disorders, self-harm and depression (be aware of these trigger warnings!). 

And now there’s only one book left. I’m getting sad to know it will be over soon! I’m excited to see what will happen next and how the series will be wrapped up!

“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.” – 5/5 stars!

Attention! This book contains: Paris, sightseeing, hotel rooms, bullying, eating disorders, dizziness and parties.

In this volume we’ll see the Heartstopper gang go on a school trip to Paris! Not only are Nick and Charlie navigating a new city, but also telling more people about their relationship AND learning more about the challenges each other are facing in private…

Meanwhile Tao and Elle will face their feelings for each other, Tara and Darcy share more about their relationship origin story, and the teachers supervising the trip seem… rather close…?



How is it possible that this series keeps stealing my heart? Charlie and Nick are the cutest couple I have ever read about, and the third book of the series was not an exception!

In this volume, Charlie and Nick go with their class to Paris! I personally really liked this setting for their romance to blossom… What could be better than the actual city of love? I also really liked how we got to see more from their friends and classmates.

I was a bit worried about Charlie and the way he eats… is it possible he has an eating disorder? I wonder what will happen in the next volume!

Absolute perfection. I’m in love with this series! 😍



”Nick … don’t feel like you need to come out to anyone until you feel ready.” – 5/5 stars!

Attention! This book contains: cute dogs, cool PE teachers, labels, confusion and a lot of kissing.

Nick and Charlie are best friends. Nick knows Charlie’s gay, and Charlie is sure that Nick isn’t.

But love works in surprising ways, and Nick is discovering all kinds of things about his friends, his family … and himself.

I was not disappointed with the second book from the Heartstopper series! It was even cuter than the first book, and I didn’t think it was possible.
I would say this book is more focused on Nick trying to sort out his feelings and trying to understand and define his sexual orientation. It’s still a book focused on their romance, but it’s definitely focused on identity. 
I love both Charlie and Nick, and their relationship is blossoming at a beautiful pace! I’m also a big fan of all of the members from their friend group – they’re all very inclusive, kind and fun.
I can honestly say this is probably one of my favorite graphic novel series of all time. It deserves all the hype. I’m very excited to read the rest of the series!

“You can’t tell whether people are gay by what they look like. And gay or straight aren’t the only two options.” – 4.5/5 stars!

Attention! This book contains: rugby practices, text messages, new friends, siblings, video games and drum lessons. 

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 outed last year and bullied for a few months – but he’s never had the opportunity to talk to him.

They quickly become friends, and soon Charlie is falling hard for Nick, even though he doesn’t think he has a chance. But love works in surprising ways, and sometimes good things are waiting just around the corner…

I can’t believe it took me so long to get my hands on this graphic novel. I admit I was skeptical because this was a very popular and hyped book on social media. But I’m glad to say it lived up to the hype! 

The romance is incredibly sweet and the main characters had great chemistry. Nick and Charlie are perfect for each other and I hope they’ll be together forever in their perfect little fictional world *sigh*.  Also, the artwork is beautiful and it matches perfectly with the character’s emotions and dialogs.

My only complaint is that it felt short – well, it wasn’t, but I was so into the story that I was sad I devoured it so fast. Fortunately there are more volumes to read! 

I’m definitely continuing to read this series. I’m ready for all the cuteness! Highly recommend it.

“The person who moves with definiteness recognizes the difference between temporary defeat and failure. When plans fail he substitutes others but he does not change his purpose. He perseveres.” – 4.5/5 stars!

Attention! This book contains: defined goals, alienation, procrastination, powerful tools, success, habits, caution, limitations, the media, associations and a very interesting interview.

Napoleon Hill wrote this book in 1938, just after publication of his all-time bestseller, Think and Grow Rich. This powerful tale has never been published, considered too controversial by his family and friends.
Using his legendary ability to get to the root of human potential, Napoleon Hill digs deep to identify the greatest obstacles we face in reaching personal goals: fear, procrastination, anger, and jealousy, as tools of the Devil. These hidden methods of control can lead us to ruin, and Hill reveals the seven principles of good that will allow us to triumph over them and succeed.

Annotated and edited for a contemporary audience by Rich Dad, Poor Dad and Three Feet from Gold co-author Sharon Lechter, this book is profound, powerful, resonant, and rich with insight.

It’s funny how books appear exactly when we need them the most… and of course, that was exactly what happened with this book.
From what I’ve researched, Outwitting the Devil was originally written in 1938, but it was only published a few years ago because of how controversial the book is. Still, even though it was written so long ago, everything mentioned can be applied in the present days. It’s a timeless book.
First off, it’s important to point out that this is not a religious book whatsoever. The title can suggest this is a book about religion, but it’s not. If that would stop you from reading the book, please reconsider. I think it’s extremely important to keep an open mind while reading it because of its approach. The book is told in an interview format… but the interviewee is the devil. I know, I understand some people may find this weird, but the truth is that it doesn’t matter if the interview was real or not. The metaphor here is what is truly important.
There were a lot of important things mentioned in this book, but there were some things that stood out the most to me. The first one is the importance of having defined goals to look forward to. This hit me like a ton of bricks. It seems (and is) simple, but it’s something I never thought about too much. I always had goals, but I never thought about how defined those goals needed to be to not be influenced by external forces. Another thing that was memorable to me is how most of the times we don’t think for ourselves. Other people’s opinions, our own experiences and even our environment can dictate how we live our lives and we forget to live by our own thoughts. And the last thing that I want to mention is the correlation between negative and positive energy. I do believe the good and bad are balanced in our world, but I never thought about the correlation with the positive and negative charges of atoms. My chemistry background wished he put emphasis on how the 98% percentage is about the volume of the atom, and not the mass… but I digress!
The book talks about relevant topics, such as fear, habits, addiction, thoughts, harmony and time. I would recommend this book to anyone, not only if you need help in some area of your life. It is a great book that shares a fresh perspective on some important issues. It’s a fairly quick read and I think there are a lot of things worth taking from this book.
