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…?
Nick and Charlie are characters from my debut novel, Solitaire. Heartstopper updates three times a month, on the 1st, 11th, and 21st.
i really appreciate reblogs and shares – please help me spread word about this comic! i’m so excited for people to read it!

ANNOUNCEMENT! HEARTSTOPPER is going to be published by Hodder next year!
Rachel: uh, and- and it’s something that I’ve noticed like, when I saw these three things about like- empathy, positivity, and strong emotional connections, it kinda helped me highlight… which components were missing from my previous relationships and kind of-
Griffin: you scared the living- the ever living fucking- mother fucking-
Rachel: *laughing*
Griffin: -fucking shit out of me and I shit my pants and almost died.
Rachel: *still laughing*
Griffin: are you kidding me? Doing a sentence like that? On a podcast? I almost shit my fucking butt off- are you kidding me? “It helped me realize something-“ this is our last episode of Wonderful!- are you kidding me?
Rachel: *laughing* I’m sorry
Griffin: Jesus Christ-
Rachel: *still laughing* helped me realize what was missing from my previous relationships-
Griffin: okay, but you understand that you sent shockwaves through the whole- like people were writing Facebook posts like, “WHAT THE FU- oh.”
Rachel: why would I bring you to this podcast to tear you-
Griffin: i don’t know! Last week you brought our sexual relations- our sexual conquest into the thing, I thought that “maybe Rachel is doing a bold new style of podcasting”
Rachel: *laughing* Griffin, I’m taking this opportunity…
Griffin: yeah, wowzers
Rachel: no, I was gonna say that it makes me realize why ours works so well
Griffin: oh, thank God
Rachel: ‘cause we are very empathetic with each other, we do compliment each other often-
Griffin: yeah
Rachel: and-
Griffin: sex power is off the charts
Rachel: -we’re positive
Griffin: yeah, we can’t even quantify our sex power
Rachel: yeahh, sex power
Griffin: blew up the bedroom yesterday
Rachel: ah, jeez
Griffin: a wave of super sonic force shot out of my body like I was-
Rachel: well you don’t have to tell out listeners, they probably felt it
Griffin: oh, no, apparently that’s what we do on this show, is tell them about my super sonic sex energy like Blanka from Street Fighter- shooting out of my body like electricity, tearing off the wall paper
Rachel: i don’t know who Blanka is
Griffin: that’s okay, he’s a big green monster from Street Fighter. He’s cool. He does this power where he crouches down and shoots electricity out of his body and like, y’know, E. Honda tries to punch him but gets a big shock
Rachel: you with your sex power, you’re more like Sheet Fighter
