Martaus, Alaine (2020). "Heartstopper: Volume 2 by Alice Oseman". Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books. 74 (3): 139–140. doi: 10.1353/bcc.2020.0774. ISSN 1558-6766. S2CID 226752465. There is no doubt that Alice Oseman’s works always manage to stir some majorly strong emotions with narratives that lend a strong voice and shed a light on the struggles of teenagers with utmost and tactful care. 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? Does Aled know that there is a book written about him? Metafiction at its finest! Realistically enough, since it’s not all a bed of roses, Alice Oseman also portrays the struggles of newfound love, especially for young queer couples. First and foremost, the most recurrent topic in this volume of Heartstopper is the constant battle of coming out. Contrarily to common misconception, as Oseman very poignantly highlights, coming out is a very tiring process which queer people have to go through time and time again: with relatives, friends, potential partners, and—the worst of all—nosy acquaintances.
