When Boy Meets Boy and Sparks fly….maybe

Heartstopper V01 by Alice Oseman

by Leave a Comment

I have tried multiple times to start the first book in the Heartstopper series. However, I learned that my trick of “starting on a random page to see if it can grab me” did not work. This book is one you must start with page one and work your way through it. And actually, one should read it slowly as, even though there is little text, and frankly little traditional action, you do not want to rush it. There is a lot going on and […]

After falling in love with Alice Oseman’s latest novel Loveless back at the start of the year, I decided to dive into her backlist and start reading everything she ever wrote. This didn’t quite go as planned with her debut Solitaire, but after that I found her graphic novels and now I am in love with Nick and Charlie. So here’s a bulk review of 1 novel, 4 graphic novels and 2 novellas. Solitaire *** Alice Oseman’s debut novel tells the story of Tori Spring, […]

I need to read more queer YA contemporaries

Loveless by Alice Oseman

by 6 Comments

So, here is the thing: I really need to read more YA contemporary. I mean, really. I had no idea I would love this that much. Loveless tells the story of Georgia Warr, a girl who is very much in love with the idea of love (through books and movies and fan fiction) but has never had a crush herself. But fear not, she is off to uni with her 2 best friends, and that is the time when everything will change, and she will […]

Heartstopper, vol 1: 4.5 stars 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…?   Charlie Spring is in Year 10 at Truham Grammar School for Boys. The past year hasn’t been too great, but at least he’s not being bullied anymore. Nick Nelson is in Year 11 and on the school rugby team. He’s heard a little about Charlie – the kid who was […]

A sweet coming of age and coming out romance.

Heartstopper, Vol. 1 by Alice Oseman

I happened to see someone I don’t even follow review the webcomic version of this lovely little story one Saturday. Someone in my feed had liked their review; they had included a link. I clicked it. I then spent the next couple of hours feverishly reading through it, until I finally had caught up with the latest post. I think that was about a year ago, and it’s still going. You wouldn’t do wrong by yourself to buy this hard copy, or the second volume […]
