"Boy meets boy. Boys become friends. Boys fall in love. Shy and softhearted Charlie Spring sits next to rugby player Nick Nelson in class one morning. A warm and intimate friendship follows, and that soon develops into something more for Charlie, who doesn't think he has a chance. But Nick is struggling with feelings of his own, and as the two grow closer and take on the ups and downs of high school, they come to understand the surprising and delightful ways in which love works."--page 4 of cover.

Amazing book submitted by kjbowling821 on June 11, 2022, 9:53am I loved the story and the plot was great I love the characters, and I really love how inclusive the book is.

So! Adorable! submitted by eileenw on June 12, 2022, 1:42pm This book has everything that makes that first teen relationship so adorable -- the awkwardness, the embarrassment, the excitement -- all of it feels so true to the experience.

Hooked immediately! submitted by Abbie G. on June 20, 2022, 6:51pm A friend checked this out and I read it in an hour! It's super cute and captures all the awkwardness and sweetness of young love.

Absolutely the best submitted by arader24 on June 27, 2022, 1:46pm This is just the cutest romance graphic novel. It makes me feel warm and fuzzy.

Refreshing and cute for any age submitted by clk.9123 on July 11, 2022, 4:39pm I loved this graphic novel so much! I think any age could really enjoy and benefit from this book, not just teens. It’s so well out together and thoughtful and rather than be focused on constant relationship drama, we beg to really see Nick and Charlie blossom. Can’t wait to read the other three.

Love this! submitted by tkuz5 on July 20, 2022, 9:27pm This is a great graphic novel. Very entertaining an navigates the awkwardness of young love well.

THIS submitted by bookasaurusray on July 27, 2022, 5:10pm This collection is everything to me! Such a good read:)

I cried. submitted by quynhssong on August 19, 2022, 1:38pm This is such a good book!!! There is a lot of swearing and it can be inappropriate at times, so I don’t recommend this book for ages 11 and under unless they are mature enoug. Overall this is an excellent series!

love submitted by Nu on August 25, 2022, 6:04pm so special and so perfect.

Amazing Book Series and Netflix Show submitted by darwa on August 25, 2022, 9:41pm I love the series and the Netflix show so much. Could not recommend more for a lovely picture of queer and trans joy.

Great series. submitted by Emily LB on June 18, 2023, 5:34pm Love this series. This is the best of them all.

Alice Oseman is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy submitted by apknapp on July 31, 2023, 3:57pm Heartstopper is a delight--YA graphic novels full of queer and trans teens figuring out who they are and supporting each other through that journey. Charlie is one of the most relatable characters I've ever encountered and Nick is just a golden retriever puppy in a human suit and I cannot get enough of them both. And then you've got Elle, the trans icing on this queerjoy cake. The whole series is just made of wonderful.

… submitted by blondi on August 17, 2023, 9:00am Really recommend and really good

Wonderful book! submitted by anay laddha on June 28, 2024, 5:17pm This is such an amazing book with a heartfelt story and beautiful pictures. Alice Oseman once again brings us a story with ups and downs,capturing us in. The characters are all so loveable. I would totally recommend this for anyone (and the show). Ten out of ten.

Beautiful submitted by carriebank on July 1, 2024, 1:56pm This graphic novel for young adults is beautiful in the way it portrays high school love.

Worth the Hype submitted by vtabor on July 5, 2024, 1:04pm I wanted to start reading a few graphic novels, so I picked this up as it's so popular. I understand why as it's such a cute and endearing story! I love the characters and definitely teared up a few times. It will make you want to immediately keep reading the other volumes. So cute and worth the quick read!

Amazing submitted by lucajl on July 9, 2024, 7:52am I loved all of these stories, especially the first one! They were so hard to put down and the illustrations were also amazing.

Lovely and Heartwarming submitted by Cherie on July 12, 2024, 2:20pm A lovely and heartwarming story about two boys slowly discovering their feelings for each other. It was a pure joy to read. It wasn’t all smiles as there were some darker moments revolving around bullying, loneliness and self-deprecation, and sexual harassment. However, it was relatable and handled with compassion. I absolutely can’t wait to read the next volume!

You have to love it. submitted by synwong on July 15, 2024, 3:50pm I'd read a lot of press about the Netflix show, so I thought I'd go to the graphic novels to see what they were all about. Brilliant, sweet, salient. Five stars!

Wonderful representation submitted by czadams on August 15, 2024, 7:39am I love this book! It is so important to have diverse representation!!

Beautiful submitted by lo_mc on August 22, 2024, 10:12pm A beautiful young adult graphic novel. Teens and adults alike will fall in love with Charlie and Nick.

Easy reading, honest protrayal submitted by annster on June 23, 2025, 9:12pm Of early romantic experiences. THis was a lovely read and an antidote to the angry rhetoric that tends to dominate public spaces lately.

Wonderful submitted by Susan4Pax -prev. sueij- on July 19, 2025, 11:55am What an amazing story of self-discovery. I’ll bet this is banned in conservative school districts because, y’know, it’s a young gay man who knows himself and is living his authentic life, then grows a friendship with someone who will stick up for him. It’s pro-knowing yourself, anti-bullying, and all wonderful.

Great Graphic Novel Series submitted by jenifer on August 22, 2025, 12:24pm I loved all the books in this series! So great to see the story of Charlie and Nick.
