Heartstopper by Alice Oseman is my final 2024 Nutmeg nominee. It’s a graphic novel.
This book has been flying off the shelf and I completely understand the hype. It captures a sweet, budding relationship between Charlie and jock Nick.
They meet in a class, and their friendship takes off quite naturally. Charlie has already come out as gay the year before. Nick is completely comfortable with Charlie and is clearly developing some feelings.
My brief summary doesn’t do justice to the story, which for me perfectly shares the angst and giddiness of a new love interest. I’m excited to keep reading the series.
