2nd Reading: fun to read the quirky side of Charlie. And Nick likes it too. Don't we all have our quirks? Fun quick read.

As Nick and Charlie spend more time together, Nick now sees that Charlie likes a smart, good-looking, famous academic professor that is coming to town to give a speech. Nick realizes that this speaker is not the rugby-type and feels some anxiety. Great feeling of reality in this short one.

The Ethics of Infatuation Dynamics is a cute comic set in the Hearstopper world that follows Nick and Charlie as Nick begins to feel jealous over Charlie’s celebrity crush. I loved every second of this comic. It was adorable. I also loved how this comic addressed celebrity crushes in relationships, which is something I wish more books would cover as I’ve always wondered how that impacts relationships.

is the power of alice oseman

This was just…not it.

I know it’s not written by Alice, and that much is obvious because it’s like bad fan fiction. The characters just don’t seem like themselves and the plot was so ludicrous. If the writer wanted to explore insecurity and jealousy, having Nick be jealous of his boyfriend admiring an older celebrity really wasn’t the right way to go as it was so unrealistic.

Stars: 4 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Cover design: 3.5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️

This took me like 2 minutes to read. Like all the other Heartstopper books, I loved the art. I also liked how Tao kept messing with Nick lol.

Jonathan Bailey, the man that you are.

[Yaz · Rating 4 out of 5]

⭐4.0

Me pareció súper cómico cómo Nick se ponía celoso e imprimía posters de estrellas (incluso uno de Ariana Grande), para luego terminar él también enamorado del otro. Lo mejor de todo es que es igual a Charlie.

Only thing that makes it a 4 star read instead of 5 is that I felt like it was waaaayy too short
