Charlie, ein nervöser, offen schwuler Grübler, und Nick, ein fröhlicher, gutherziger Rugbyspieler, treffen sich an einem britischen Jungengymnasium. Schnell entsteht eine Freundschaft, aber könnte da noch mehr sein ...? Charlie Spring ist in der 10. Klasse der Truham Grammar School for Boys. Das vergangene Jahr war nicht besonders toll, aber wenigstens wird er nicht mehr gemobbt. Nick Nelson ist in der 11. Klasse und spielt im Rugbyteam der Schule. Er hat ein wenig über Charlie gehört – über den Jungen, der letztes Jahr geoutet wurde und ein paar Monate lang gemobbt wurde –, aber er hatte nie Gelegenheit, mit ihm zu sprechen. Sie werden schnell Freunde, und schon bald verliebt sich Charlie Hals über Kopf in Nick, obwohl er nicht glaubt, dass er eine Chance hat. Aber die Liebe funktioniert auf überraschende Weise, und manchmal warten gute Dinge direkt um die Ecke ...

Nick and Charlie are best friends. Nick knows Charlie's gay, and Charlie is sure that Nick isn't. But love works in surprising ways, and Nick is discovering all kinds of things about his friends, his family ... and himself.

In this volume we’ll see the Heartstopper gang go on a school trip to Paris! Not only are Nick and Charlie navigating a new city, but also telling more people about their relationship AND learning more about the challenges each other are facing in private… Meanwhile Tao and Elle will face their feelings for each other, Tara and Darcy share more about their relationship origin story, and the teachers supervising the trip seem… rather close…?

Boy meets boy. Boys become friends. Boys fall in love. The bestselling LGBTQ\+ graphic novel about life, love, and everything that happens in between: this is the fourth volume of HEARTSTOPPER, for fans of The Art of Being Normal, Holly Bourne and Love, Simon. 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.
