'Absolutely delightful. Sweet, romantic, kind. Beautifully paced. I loved this book.' RAINBOW ROWELL, author of Carry On
Charlie didn't think Nick could ever like him back, but now they're officially boyfriends. Nick's even found the courage to come out to his mum.
But coming out isn't just something that happens once - there's Nick's older brother, and a school trip to Paris, not to mention all the other friends and family - and life can be hard, even with someone who loves you by your side. As their feelings get more serious, Charlie and Nick will need each other more than ever before.
Heartstopper is about love, friendship, loyalty and mental illness. It encompasses all the small stories of Nick and Charlie's lives that together make up something larger, which speaks to all of us.
'The queer graphic novel we wished we had at high school.' Gay Times
This is the third volume of Heartstopper, which has now been optioned for television by See-Saw Films.

I really loved this book. However, I've came in somewhere in the middle and need to read Volume 1 and Volume 2 or the online cartoon to get the full picture. I look forward to the TV show whenever it surfaces. The structure is very simple and Oseman uses simple black and white cartoons to tell a lovely, powerful queer story. I loved Nick and Charlie, they're so cute together. I was rooting for them from the first page. Their experiences are so realistic and I could relate to a lot of what they went through even though I was a lot older. You don't just come out once, you come out so many times in different situations as you meet new people or your circumstances change. I came out to my family almost twenty years ago and have come out several more times since, the most recent about 18 months ago when I started a new job. Everything about this delightful book rang true.
