A beautiful graphic novel that tackles some difficult topics. This is great for fans of Heartstopper and food. I love the development between the two mains and I hope to read the next volume!

Thank you to NetGalley and publisher for the opportunity to read and review.

This was a cute book with decent representation and discussion of queerness, race, and mental health. There's also a diverse range with other side characters (who I hope will be explored more in further volumes). I would have liked to see some aspects be explored deeper and the ending felt a bit abrupt, but this is a continuing series, so I hope to see this approached in further volumes. Overall, it's a cute graphic novel with lovely art.

I wasn't familiar with the comic prior to reading Hungry Heart in this format, so I wasn't entirely sure what to expect, but I really enjoyed it. The art was very appealing, and I felt it complemented the tone of the story well. The story itself was lighthearted while also touching on some heavier topics, including eating disorders, homophobia, racism, and mental health. There was also quite a bit of representation in this book: a gay MC, a Black pansexual LI, a disabled Black lesbian SC, and several other queer and POC characters.

The romance between Laurie and Oryan was present but not necessarily the main focus. Instead, you're able to get to know both characters as individuals outside of their relationship with one another, which I found really nice.

Thank you to NetGalley and Andrews McNeel Publishing for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.

This book sucked me in and I could not put it down! The characters felt so real and I became invested very quickly! I absolutely loved this and will be watching for more
