What Heartstopper, Volume 4 is about
Charlie and Nick are happy together, and Charlie believes he is ready to say "I love you." Nick feels the same way, but his mind is crowded. He is nervous about coming out to his dad, and he has started to worry that Charlie may be struggling with an eating disorder. A new school year begins just as these pressures arrive, so the gentle early days of their romance meet harder questions about family, honesty and caring for someone's health. Told in two-color artwork, this fourth volume of Alice Oseman's Heartstopper series, published in 2021, follows the couple with warmth and a steady regard for mental health. The book is the fourth volume in the Heartstopper series, which is now streaming on Netflix.
