Alice Oseman is a British author of Young Adult fiction and graphic novels, whose work includes the novel Solitaire and the on-going webcomic Heartstopper.As such, I needed Netflix’s interest to alert me to this wonderful piece of work, as graphic comics are not something I’ve ever been interested in. By Alice Oseman, winner of the YA Book Prize, Heartstopper is about love, friendship, loyalty and mental illness. She has written four YA contemporary novels about teenage disasters: SOLITAIRE, RADIO SILENCE, I WAS BORN FOR THIS, and LOVELESS. Charlie, a highly-strung, openly gay over-thinker, and Nick, a cheerful, soft-hearted rugby player, meet at a British all-boys grammar school. Me habían dicho lo rápido que se leía esta historia, pero no me lo he creído al cien por cien hasta que lo he hecho.

But love works in surprising ways, and Nick is discovering all kinds of things about his friends, his family .

Alongside writing and drawing, Alice enjoys playing the piano semi-proficiently, Pokémon games, and purchasing too many Converse.
