Heartstopper: Volume 1

 Book 68 of my 2023 Reading Challenge
read from July 22 - 23

Heartstopper: Volume 1
by Alice Oseman

Summary (via the book jacket)
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.

My Opinion
4 stars

Even though I haven't watched the show on Netflix I've seen enough clips to picture the characters.  Sometimes that would work against the book but in this case, the cuteness of young fumbling guys trying to figure themselves out plays well on screen and enhances the story as I'm reading.  

I'm glad I don't have to wait and can jump right into the next book.
