About the Book
Boy meets boy. Boys become friends. Boys fall in love. Heartstopper is a bestselling LGBTQ+ graphic novel about life, love, and everything that happens in between.
Charlie, a highly-strung, openly gay over-thinker, and Nick, a cheerful, soft-hearted rugby player, meet at a British all-boys grammar school. Friendship blooms quickly, but could there be something more...?
