Author & Illustrator: Alice Oseman
Tender, hopeful, and emotionally honest - HEARTSTOPPER VOLUME 3 deepens Nick and Charlie’s relationship while exploring the real-life challenges of coming out, communication, and being brave together. With soft two-tone artwork and heartfelt storytelling, this volume is both sweet and quietly powerful.
Charlie never imagined Nick would like him back, yet here they are, officially boyfriends. Nick has told his mom, and for the first time, the future feels bright. But coming out isn’t a single moment - it’s a journey. And while Nick wants to share their happiness with the world, Charlie isn’t sure he’s ready for everyone to know.
When a school trip to Paris brings late-night talks, new pressures, and moments that make the heart skip, Nick and Charlie must learn when to speak up, when to protect themselves, and how to grow together without losing themselves.
Warm, sincere, and endlessly relatable, Heartstopper Vol. 3 reminds readers that love is not just butterflies and excitement, but patience, communication, and choosing each other again and again.

- A gentle, realistic look at coming out at your own pace
