I dove into this book early, without any background, just seeking a new read as a high schooler.I read it and watched the movie shortly after its release. I was... astounded, shocked.There's a reason why this short read has endured—the storytelling is impeccable. Aside from Gatsby who I truly felt for, Nick's character and perspective in Fitzgerald's writing were already cinematic.

I honestly thought when I picked up this book and read the author's note thatDaisy Jones and The Sixexist in real life.It was not just a story about a rock band’s rise to fame but also the characters' individual differences and their passion for music. The best part of the adaptation was when the songs were released and made available for streaming –\xa0 that had me LSS for weeks! Not to mention, the casting was great!

Heartstopperdoes exactly what it says — this is the kind of book that tugs at your heartstrings and gets you emotionally invested in the plot. Acute read filled with love, sweetness, and understanding but it also serves as an eye-opener about the challenges that people face just to be able to express themselves freely.
