Heartstopper

“Absolutely delightful. Sweet, romantic, kind. Beautifully paced. I loved this book.” — Rainbow Rowell, author of Carry On

Boy meets boy. Boys become friends. Boys fall in love.

This is the story that has captured hearts around the world and sparked a beloved Netflix series. When shy, softhearted Charlie Spring finds himself sitting next to rugby player Nick Nelson in class one morning, neither expects what comes next. A warm, intimate friendship blooms between them—one filled with stolen glances, inside jokes, and the kind of moments that make your chest feel both tight and full at once.

For Charlie, who’s already navigated the complicated terrain of being openly gay at an all-boys grammar school, these feelings are familiar territory. But they’re also terrifying. Nick is popular, athletic, and seemingly straight. Charlie doesn’t think he has a chance.

But Nick is struggling with feelings of his own—ones he’s never experienced before. As the two grow closer and navigate the ups and downs of high school together, they discover the surprising and delightful ways in which love actually works.

Alice Oseman’s graphic novel is a tender, authentic coming-of-age story that explores friendship, first love, mental health, and coming out with remarkable sensitivity and charm. The expressive artwork brings every flutter of emotion to life, making this a story you don’t just read—you feel.

Perfect for readers who believe love stories should be sweet, honest, and full of hope.
