Yet, these feelings are heightened to exorbitant levels in Heartstopper, for Alice Oseman makes the most of her masterful handling of non-verbal stylistic devices. Her use of the shape and organisation of panels to express feelings without words, along with their dynamic organisation help in keeping the story going and rising emotional responses that words would have probably left unattended. And who has noticed the curious little details Oseman includes in her comics? Have you noticed that Radio Silence—one of her previous works—appears a couple of times throughout this volume?

That’s my little rant over. I’m really happy to live where I live and have the opportunities I do.

Absolutely delightful. Sweet, romantic, kind. Beautifully paced. I loved this book.’ RAINBOW ROWELL, author of Carry OnIf you were like me and my friends in school where we had nothing better to do than ship teachers, it is a thing people do. Often times, we think teachers are just part of the furniture and incapable of emotions.I like the fact that they had their time to shine and were able to find happiness out of a trip meant to entertain and teach the students.
