Det stormar i kompiskretsen kring Abeba och Lina, men de vet att tillsammans klarar de allt. Den populära tjejen Enjoy verkar plötsligt hatad av alla. Men hon vill inte prata om det. Samtidigt får Adele oväntat mycket uppmärksamhet för sin grafitti-konst. Hur kul som helst, tycker Lina och Abeba, men Adele blir mest obekväm. Varför då?

je ne répéterai jamais assez combien j’adore cette série de bandes dessinées. de la pertinence des sujets abordés (intimidation, divorce, ici harcèlement, amitié, amour et j’en passe) aux illustrations qui sont si magnifiques, tout tout est beau de cette histoire qui est à découvrir depuis le premier tome. tout ce que j’ai trouvé un peu intense dans ce tome-ci, c’est le harcèlement qu’a subi Enjoy, mais autrement j’ai tout tout tout aimé du début à la fin, encore une fois.

pour n’importe quel ado du premier cycle du secondaire, pour les profs, pour les parents d’ado qui veulent offrir un cadeau à leur ado — à lire simplement et assurément.

Abe is worried that he is "ugly, but nice" because of his acne, even though he fights with his mother when she suggests taking him to a dermatologist. He is enjoying hanging out with Charlie, but things get complicated when Grace asks Charlie to find out who Abe's girlfriend is. Instead of simply replying that the two of them are, in fact, dating, Charlie agrees to find out the information. New student Gabriel is very anxious, and often talking to a figment of his imagination which makes him an easy target for the ever evil Sean. Sean also has a revealing selfie of a girl in their class, and is using it to get information about classmates. He also starts an "ugliest couple" contest. When Adele and Felicity kiss in public, this sends ripples through the school, and Collette approaches the two and says she would rather hang out with them than her usual popular crowd, since they are so "trendy". When Adele gets her period for the first time and has horrible cramps, the male gym teacher makes a joke about it, but Felicity stands up to him, and the two go to the school nurse, who is more sympathetic. When Sean posts the winner of the "ugliest couple" contest, Grace finds out that Abe is seeing Charlie. Lola is interested in Gabriel, but the two are both shy and awkward. When Lola and Grace find out that Sean has pictures of Collette, they manage to get his phone and delete them so she no longer has to do his dirty work and spy on others... but she sends him another one with a text that she is still willing to do his bidding.

Tweens love drama, and this has both friend and romantic relationship drama. Like earlier books in the series, it addresses many social situations like public kisses, period positivity, and a cautionary tale about revealing selfies, but in a French way that is just slightly different from how those issues would be addressed in the US. The manga style artwork is very pretty. Readers who like the graphic novel drama of Raina Telgemaier but aren't quite ready for books like Oseman's Heartstopper will swoon over these titles.

À quel point je capote sur cette parfaite série! D'abord les illustrations sont tellement belles, mais ce qui me plait le plus c'est l'amitié sincère qui se tisse entre les personnages féminins. C'est si beau de voir la solidarité qui émane de ces filles-là, aussi différentes soient-elles les unes des autres. Je ne me tannerai jamais je pense, j'en veux plus plus plus!

Cannot recommend enough! Read Absorb Enjoy!

Truly a beautifully drawn storyline with something for everyone. I love how this team really draws on the real lives of teenagers and how gaining confidence and self-assurance takes time, and talking about insecurities with trusted friends really does help. Love the friend group and how supportive they are of each other. I cannot wait to read more!

Tout d'abord merci à NetGalley et aux éditions Dupuis pour l'envoi de ce service presse. J'ai été ravie d’avoir pu découvrir cette parution. J’ai été ravie de découvrir Cœur collège de Beka et Maya. Cette bande dessinée jeunesse raconte les péripéties d’un groupe de jeunes adolescentes entre leurs histoires familiales, d’amitiés et de cœurs.
Note : 4 / 5
J’ai tellement aimé me plonger dans cette parution graphique et cela notamment grâce au style graphique. Le chara-design absolument merveilleux à regarder. Chaque personnage possède une personnalité et une charte graphique. C’est un gros coup de cœur pour cette réalisation ! Les planches sont tellement harmonieuses et pleines de détails. J’ai aimé que l’histoire tourne autour du domaine de l’art. Néanmoins l’autrice a aussi décidé d’aborder des sujets importants qui peuvent jalonner la vie d’adolescent. Cela a été fait très subtilement et intelligemment afin de véhiculer de bons messages auprès de la jeunesse. Nous pouvons d’ailleurs y voir la représentation de famille divorcée avec le point de vue d’un des personnages mais aussi le sujet plus sombre du harcèlement scolaire. Bien sûr, il est donc soulevé la question de comment réagir, comment agir et faire que cela s’arrête. Chaque situation est bien expliquée et trouve une résolution ou au moins une bonne morale. J’ai aimé aussi que l’histoire tourne autour de l’art sous plusieurs formes. C’est vraiment un bon ouvrage à glisser entre les mains de jeunes adolescents et plus bien sûr.

Ce tome parle d'un sujet vraiment important : le harcèlement, le consentement. C'est abordé d'une très belle façon !

On voit aussi plus le personnage d'Enjoy que j'adore, ça m'a fait plaisir.

Je n'en ai pas encore parlé dans mes critiques des anciens tomes mais les dessins sont si beaux ! Je suis absolument fan du travail de Maya, bravo à elle !

Et je suis la seule a avoir un ship pour Enjoy et Adèle ensemble ? Je croise les doigts pour les prochains tomes.......

This book series is severely addicting and I was so thrilled that there was a third book in the series! I loved how Abe was one of the main characters in this one because I have to admit, I was always curious about him. The book got me to truly connect with the characters, especially Adele, making it the perfect graphic novel to add to your shelf or TBR.

Comme toujours dans cette série de BD, on retrouve des thèmes importants liées aux relations sociales, l’amour ou l’amitié. Dans ce troisième tome on a aussi une grande place réservée à l’art, et j’ai adoré toutes ces belles couleurs et cette harmonie ! C’est aussi un tome qui parle de sujets forts et d’actualités comme le harcèlement, le divorce ou le besoin de reconnaissance sur les réseaux sociaux. C’est une lecture doudou que je recommande à tous ceux qui auraient (eu) besoin de se sentir moins seul a l’adolescence. ❤️

J'ai adoré ce tome. Les dessins sont toujours magnifiques. J'ai surtout aimé en découvrir plus sur Charlie et sur Enjoy ! J'ai adoré la manière dont Enjoy a résolu son problème avec Soan, et la réaction d'Adèle ! Charlie m'a fait de la peine.. J'ai aimé aussi que Garance trouve un voisin gentil chez son père.
Cette histoire est toute mignonne et parle de sujets importants comme le harcèlement dans ce tome. J'adore !

J'ai adoré ce tome, je trouve qu'il y a vraiment une bonne évolution entre le tome 1 et ce tome. C'était une lecture cocooning et tendre. J'ai aimé voir Garance et Linon aider les autres - bien qu'Enjoy sache se débrouiller très bien seule !
J'ai adoré les paroles de la chanson de Linon, ça m'a fait fondre.
Et les dessins sont toujours aussi beaux ! J'ai hâte de lire le tome 4 !

3.5 rounded up to 4

I don't think I liked this one quite as much as the 2nd one, but it was still great. I did enjoy seeing some of the characters grow and their relationships with each other develop.

As with the others, it was fun, but also dealt with some heavy stuff (more about body image, this time mostly a teen boy who is very self-conscious about his acne; social anxiety; someone sending slightly scandalous pictures, and then the receiver of those pictures using them to "blackmail" the sender, etc.).

For those who were disappointed that the first two books (especially the first book, because the cover art somewhat implies it) didn't have any LGBTQIA+ representation, this one does have some of that.

I didn't quite get/understand the element where one character essentially has an imaginary friend (or is it a hallucination?). It's just kind of weird. It's implied that this is a way this character helps deal with their social anxiety.

I'll also say, one overall vibe of all of the books, and this one doesn't change it much, is that the girls think almost all boys and men are inconsiderate jerks (and, within the books, most boys'/men's actions reinforce this). Also, there aren't any boys who are just friends with the girls, rather than just potential matches. As someone whose best friends through middle school and high school were all girls, I think this is pretty sad. Hmm, I do have to admit that, though we were just friends, I did at some points, "like"/view some of those friends as potential "more-than-friends."

There are two boys who MAY have more positive roles in the next installment, so here's hoping that it plays out that way!

Also, I do realize that, maybe especially in middle school, the majority of boys don't exactly treat girls very well... and it's probably even worse because some boys (and girls) think the way to relate to your crush is to mess with, tease, etc.

**3.5**

Is collette supposed to be similar to one of the girls they met in the last book? It seems like it.

I think it’s odd that abe is insecure when he has a girlfriend. Shouldn’t he be asking her about it? It does seem like she doesn’t care about him that much

- Abe is insecure about his looks. Thinks he doesn’t have a chance with grace
- Some new kid and a fairy conscience??
- Loving adele and felicity
- Sean wants to hold a vote for the ugliest couple
- Grace overhears abe on the phone to a girlfriend
- Charlie tells abe “yeah, sure “to being good looking. And he’s really nice. That’s the comment he’s been replaying
- Felicity’s sister find her with adele. Turns out felicity has been drawing her for a while
- Charlie is hiding because lola asked her to find out who abe is with. She basically tells them she’s dating him but they don’t put it together
- New girl collette overhears Charlie calling abe while making out with someone. She wants to help. Why…?
- Sean has a sexy photo of a girl. It is collette???
- Lola goes to meet gabriel the shy kid
- Sean makes charlie and abe the ugliest couple. Grace finds out about them. Lola thinks something is odd…
- Collette is being blackmailed with the picture
- Plan to take sean’s phone and delete the pic
- Lola runs into gabriel at the pool. Asks for his help
- Collette sends sean another pic. Still will do what he wants

....holy time skip, Batman.

It just feels like a lot has happened since the last volume, to the point where it almost feels like there's another one skipped in between. really isn't all that of a surprise given the end of the last one, but it still feels out of left field as it wasn't really explored that much (and feels like those "vibes" are somewhat misplaced on the wrong character - or at least there's definitely another character who'd definitely vibe the same, you know exactly who I mean), and certainly really feels just...just a thing they do now. Also, I don't even have to bother with spoiler tags since all of that happens in like, page 3 but whatever.

I feel like, and maybe even get that, a big part of this seeming out of nowhere time jump is intentional - kids do grow up fast at that age, and coming back after a month or two can feel like everything's changed in the meantime. New kids slot in and out all the time. The one thing is Lola - she feels, well, rather stunted compared to everyone else and especially Grace, whom since we still mostly see the story through Lola's eyes, feels stunted in turn, or at least through a lens that can't appreciate how much she's grown, character-wise but also physically and literally. The impression is that Lola is lost as an 8th grader in a sea of high school freshman, including her best friend, and well that might be the point too, I guess.

Also what happened to Nick, you know, the boy Lola was in to all the way back in Vol 1?

...I guess I'll give it 4 stars, why not.

Lasten ja nuorten sarjakuvalla on mennyt jo useamman vuoden ajan sangen mukavasti, ja yksi suurimmista suosikeistani on tällä saralla ollut ranskalais-italialainen Love College. Sarjakuvan kolmas osa "Uuden rakkauden laulu" (Story House Egmont, 2026) jatkaa kahden yläkoulua käyvän ystävyksen, Garancen ja Linonin, elämästä, koulusta ja sangen monimutkaisista ihmissuhteista kertovaa tarinaa.

Sarjakuvan pääjuoni kiertyy vähän erikoislaatuisen kiusaamiskuvion ympärille, jossa koulun suosituin poika Soan ottaa silmätikukseen kauniin Enjoy Parasolin. Ai miksikö? Enjoy ei halua alkaa seurustella hänen kanssaan.

Tyttöjen välinen ystävyys on keskeisessä roolissa. Sivuhenkilöt saavat vähän enemmän syvyyttä ja tuttavuutta tehdään myös muutaman uuden hahmon kanssa. Nätisti piirretty albumi ei ole niin loistava kuin kaksi ensimmäistä osaa, mutta uskoisin, että tämä kolahtaa ihan mukavasti esiteini-ikäisiin - ja miksei myös meihin vähän vanhempiin!

Grace has decided to confess her feelings to Abe. But when she shows up to tell him, she overhears him on the phone with someone who cannot be “just a friend”. Grace teams up with Lola to investigate who the mystery girl is and they immediately go to Charlie, the girl who knows everybody’s business. But Charlie has her own secret: she’s dating Abe!

I’m not one to usually care too much about romance, especially in young adult / middle grade, as a thirty-three year-old woman, it’s not my story. But I picked up the first volume of this series simply because of the cover and the beautiful artwork, and even though it has a heavy focus on romance, it’s not only about romance. In this particular volume, Abe actually deals with believing he’s “ugly, but nice”. New student Gabriel talks to a figment of his imagination and of course gets bullied by Sean for it. When Adele gets her period for the first time and has horrible cramps, a male physical education teacher makes a joke of it and refuses to believe her pain. There’s an “ugliest couple” contest going around (run by Sean). Collette even sends a risky photo to Sean, who uses it as blackmail against her.

Besides the amazing artwork and beautiful color pallet, this graphic novel is more than just romance, so don’t let the name scare you off!

Overall, I enjoyed how this book really focuses on the tween drama of “first” loves. Of course, it is with a bit of a French twist, so it's a slightly different viewpoint than America, but still fun and enjoyable. Readers who like Raina Telemaier would also enjoy this as well.

I thought this was going to be the last book of the series because it looks significantly shorter than the other two, but was pleasantly surprised that there seems to be at least one more vol based on how this one ended.

I love these characters a lot and have fun reading about their adventures. Can't wait to read the next installment!

Loveddd the Abe/Charlie ship, hateddd the fucking ending. Fym it was half the size of the other two and the story didn’t end. Fym there’s another one coming out. Fym the plot point introduced in this book doesn’t get resolved. Gabriel is my son even though we don’t know much about him so I do have some love in my heart

Kolmas osa kovasti pitämäni Love college -sarjaa jatkaa samassa hengessä kuin aiemmatkin, mutta tällä kertaa tarinan sekavuus pudotti tähdet kahteen. Vähän kaikkea tuntuu olevan liikaa, kuten (uusia) hahmoja ja yksittäisiä juonenkulkuja, ja pääjuoni oli lisäksi miun makuun ihan epärealistinen. Harmi, koska kaksi ekaa oli supereita. Ehkä meno paranee seuraavaan osaan?
