I heard you’ll be covering Heated Rivalry and let out a “thank GOD” because there are few people I trust to discuss it at the insane* level of detail my unwell little brain now requires. *(complimentary) (obviously)
I LOVE heartstopper. It’s so funny to listen to you. You a soooo funny and I hope that the podcast never ends. 🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷
So many people I know love this show and this book. I’ve read all these books 1,000,000 times and I’ve watched the show at least twice. I’m waiting for volume six to come out and I’ve read solitude and loveless the other novel by the author, so yes, lots of people in America that I know like it. I live in Pennsylvania fyi.
I can’t stop listening, because they uncover loads of little facts I had not noticed while watching the series, but also I am often bored because Adam keeps repeating himself. We heard you and we understood you the first time, Adam, no need to say it again in a slightly different way. Editors, pls edit him out the second time.
This is exactly what I needed to handle my obsession with heartstopper books and tv show and the cast. You guys are doing an amazing job with the deep dive, exploring deeper meaning into everything said and not said. I can’t wait for new episodes about vol 5 & 6 and seasons 4. (Fingers crossed)
