  Heartstopper Review  Author: Alice Oseman Page #: 278 Genres: YA, graphic novel, lgbtq+, MLM, contemporary  TW: eating disorder, self-harm I really, really, really loved this book. I do not go out and seek graphic novels, but when I hear there is a good graphic novel; I feel I am willing to give it a chance. And the chance was definitely well deserved because I finished this in one sitting and absolutely loved it.  The first book of Nick and Charlie's story is something that seems almost kind of addicting because not only is it about understanding your more than friend feelings for someone else, it also educates you on a healthy relationship. A healthy relationship is not a one-sided thing, where one person chooses everything. Also, in a relationship, someone will not force you to do anything that you do not feel comfortable doing.

Words

                                       Words     Words have so much meaning to them. They represent a meaning in each sentence. Each time you write something, say something...you are using words. Adjectives describe you. Verbs state your action. Without words how would we speak?    Words can have so much hate in them sometimes and can tear you apart. While others can bring you so much joy, and put a smile on your face. One single sentence could change someone's life, using words. That one sentence could change a person's view for the better or the worse. Sometimes we may regret what words we choose to use, and that guilt sticks with us for a while from the words we choose.   Saying "I love you", three words, is something you feel and that you express to someone that you have all this mushy inside of you for someone else. Saying "I hate you", three words,...
