Now a beloved Netflix series! This fifth volume of the internationally bestselling HEARTSTOPPER series continues the heartwarming journey of Nick and Charlie as they navigate the beautiful complexity of young love.

Those three little words have been said, and everything feels different—in the best possible way. Charlie is working up the courage to ask his mum about sleeping over at Nick’s house, hoping to deepen their connection. But with Nick heading off to university next year, both boys are wondering: what happens next? Can Charlie find the confidence to be vulnerable? Will distance change what they’ve built together?
