Heartstopper Vol. 4 by Alice Oseman

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 and intimate friendship blossoms between them—one filled with easy laughter, quiet understanding, and moments that linger long after the school bell rings. For Charlie, those feelings deepen into something more, though he’s convinced someone like Nick could never feel the same way. But Nick is on his own journey of discovery, wrestling with feelings he’s never quite put into words before.

Alice Oseman’s Heartstopper has captured hearts around the world with its tender, authentic portrayal of first love and self-discovery.
