Curator’s note
Heartstopper is finally here: need we say more? This series of graphic novels depicts sweet young queer love between two boys, and is sure to tug at your heartstrings and make you tear up with queer joy.
Synopsis
This graphic novel is part of the Heartstopper series: Volume 1, Volume 2, Volume 3, and Volume 4. Netflix's Heartstopper season 1 only covers the plot of Volumes 1 and 2, so SPOILER WARNING.
Charlie didn't think Nick could ever like him back, but now they're officially boyfriends. Charlie's beginning to feel ready to say those three little words: I love you.
Nick's been feeling the same, but he's got a lot on his mind - not least coming out to his dad, and the fact that Charlie might have an eating disorder.
As summer turns to autumn and a new school year begins, Charlie and Nick are about to learn a lot about what love means.
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.
This is the fourth volume of Heartstopper, which has now been optioned for television by See-Saw Films.
