Alice Oseman: Heartstopper (2020, Scholastic, Inc.)
Published May 5, 2020 by Scholastic, Inc..
Boy meets boy. Boys become friends. Boys fall in love.
Charlie and Nick are at the same school, but they've never met ... until one day when they're made to sit together. They quickly become friends, and soon Charlie is falling hard for Nick, even though he doesn't think he has a chance.
But love works in surprising ways, and Nick is more interested in Charlie than either of them realise.
I read this a few months ago, and a few months after seeing the Netflix show. It gave me the same feeling of comfort, and once I was in the story I got to the end in no time, without getting interrupted by... all the stuff that usually interrupt me. Would read again, or rather would read the other ones!
If I could give this book 7 seven stars, I would, this is easily one of the best, most heartwarming pieces of media I have ever had the pleasure of consuming. It sucked me in like nothing has before, I read the entire thing in basically one sitting.
Heartstopper is a wonderful graphic novel series with amazing LGBTQ representation. It has beautifully illustrated pages and the story is heartwarming. You should definitely check out this book, especially if you want to read a wholesome MLM queer romance.
