Their internal struggles and the pressure to conform to societal rules are well depicted.Įven though, as a reader, one knows the lead pair will be romantically paired, the romance takes time to build, and thus feels more endearing and genuine. The characters are absolutely cute and lovable. Charlie develops a huge crush on Nick, knowing he doesn’t stand a chance because Nick is straight. Things change pretty soon as they quickly become friends. Even though he has heard of Charlie, he is not friends with him. Nick Nelson is in Year 11 and on the school rugby team. He is openly gay, having come out to everyone the past year. Charlie Spring is in Year 10 at Truham Grammar School for Boys. This classic friends-to-lovers series revolves around two boys, Charlie and Nick. I watched the series first (I know blasphemous!) and absolutely loved it! Heartstopper: Volume 1 is part of 4 book series of graphic novels. Though I ALWAYS read the book before watching them on TV/movies, this was an exception. I picked up the Heartstopper series by Alice Oseman as my reading choice for the Pride month.
