They are also the author of the books "Radio Silence", "I Was Born for This", and "Loveless". The webcomic "Heartstopper", published as multiple graphic novels and adapted into a TV series, was also written by Oseman. Her books focus on contemporary teenage life in the UK and have received several awards, including Inky Awards and United By Pop Awards.

Nick and Charlie are now best friends. Nick knows Charlie is gay, and Charlie is one hundred per cent sure that Nick is not. 
But love works surprisingly, and Nick discovers all kinds of things about his friends, family, and himself.

I finally found the time to read the second volume of hearts, and I cannot lie to you guys. I am so in love with this storyline. It is so cute to follow along with the love story of Charlie and Maike, and I still think it is reality-based, and the representation is just bomb. I cannot wait to get this third volume in my hand, and I recommend the book to everyone. I even think this one stuck more with me event the first one.

Overall I would recommend the book, and I am going to read the third part of the series and cannot wait to see how everything goes with Nick and Charlie. I appreciate the hard work behind the book, and I can get that. I would encourage everyone to pick it up and read it and hopefully enjoy it as much as I did.
