I'm here to tell you that nothing is as precious as Nick & Charlie falling for each other so do not deprive yourself of this experience.
Was this adorable? YES. Do I need to immediately read them all? Also yes. Heartstopper by Alice Oseman is such a sweet and lovely graphic novel of two boys on the cusp of romance that will certainly give you all the feels and feel relatable for anyone who has ever loved. Seriously, reading this I was suddenly 16 again going through the bittersweet maelstrom of emotions of a first big crush and all the swirling feelings of euphoria and anxiety that come with it. This book is perfect, well aside from only being the first part of a larger series but still. Alice perfectly captures chaotic, romantic emotion in such simple yet effective artistic storytelling that gave me chills and had me devouring the whole graphic novel in a single, blissful setting.
Pick this up, seriously. Once you start reading you will suddenly find yourself at the end eager for more. This is a lovely and heartfelt story that feels so true and I’m so glad stories like this exist in the world today. I saw myself in both of these characters and it meant a lot to me. Thank you, Alice.
