A comfort series, but this one was not quite a comforting read — it got very deep and dark, though I feel like it was both a necessary development to the story and more importantly, a safe way to teach young people about mental health issues and bumpy recovery journeys. Heartstopper is one of the most impactful book series I've ever come across, and I just wish these had been around when I was 15-16 myself.
