Loveless by Alice Oseman

5.0

I started reading Alice Oseman’s books after watching Heartstopper and devouring the comics. Their books are everythinggg. This book helped me realize I’m probably asexual, so it holds a particular soft spot for me ♥️

Heartstopper Volume 1 by Alice Oseman

5.0

A comfort read full of young people figuring out their identities with so many heartwarming scenes. Alice does a great job at exploring heavy topics as well, but this portion of the comics is more lighthearted than some of their other works.
