I work as a high school librarian and kids really really really really really want the fifth volume. Like, really. If I haven't said it a thousand times yet, then I haven't said it enough because these books get borrowed on a daily basis and they are returned on the same day because kids just go through them that quickly! I truly appreciate how this webcomic has become published and made its way into the hearts of the youth. It's so important that kids get stories like these. So bless your creativity and thank you for your gift to the world :)
The fact that it became a Netflix show gives me so much inspiration to keep on creating and never give up on my own ideas! Been here for ages and seeing Heartstopper reach people from all around the world just makes me so happy and proud.
Seeing that this was three years ago makes me proud of Alice and how she grew into her job to think Heartstopper is already a TV show is heartening

@@reapingbennefits as a gay man, I can't stand her I'm sick of straight women writing books about homosexuality and not understanding same sex attraction the tv show looks woke and if nick and Charlie wasn't there it would be worse because she believes in gender identity labels non binary is fake and so many girls with blue hair are going to harm real gay boys and men. Detrans voices are growing and LGB Alliance is the future. Wake up!

Little did she know her webcomic was going to be a Netflix adaptation
The beginning of an incredible story. ^_^
Fast forward 4 years and she now has 2 seasons of heartstopper on Netflix and is continuing to create season 3 and book 5 and 6 ❤❤
I read this webcomic recently and although I don’t go through the struggles of a young gay teenage boy, I still really related to it so much. This is great because the story highlights a lot of general awkward teen experiences. From the beginning I enjoyed how painfully accurate and relatable this story is. I’d experienced hopelessly falling in love in a secondary school as a teen, the struggle of GCSEs, OCD and eating disorders, family issues, being able to care for someone and have them care for you. I felt like I was living through all of it again and seeing so many recognisable experiences made me sob. I read everything in one sitting and by the end of it I had a splitting headache from crying so much. Normally I don’t cry or show much emotion to media, so this moved me a lot. The art was beautiful, the storytelling and dialogue was perfect, everything was extremely accurate. You are one of the most talented artists and writers I’ve ever seen. Thank you, Alice. I will never forget this webcomic.
Okay so i took a big risk getting these books bc of my parents.... BUT I AM COMPLETELY IN LOVE WITH THEM AND HONESTLY MY FAVOURITE BOOK SERIES ... It was so amazing and such a heart warming story... So ty very much for making these books they really made me happy and i really enjoyed them :]

Don't know if you read these comments anymore but you are my HERO. I mean that in the most genuine way, your stories inspired me so much and if I met you irl I'd probably pass out from crying. Thank you so much for everything. I just wish you were a bit older so I could have had role models like Nick, Charlie, Elle, Tori and the rest of the gang when I came out aged 15. But maybe that's just me being greedy I don't know. Just thought you should know how appreciated you are as an insanely talented writer and artist.
