Ceci est l'histoire de deux lycéens.
Nick, le rugbyman au sourire solaire.
Charlie, le musicien au coeur solitaire.
Parce qu'ils évoluent dans des cercles différents, parce qu'ils n'ont pas le même caractère, leur amitié n'était pas gagnée.
Pourtant, petit à petit, de façon irrésistible, Charlie tombe amoureux.
Même s'il sait que Nick aime les filles. Même s'il sait qu'il n'a aucune chance.
Alors, pour ne pas mettre en péril cette amitié naissante qui compte pour lui plus que tout, Charlie préfère garder le silence...
Ceci est l'histoire de deux lycéens. Amis, puis petits amis, ils apprennent ensemble à affronter le regard des autres. Depuis que Nick a fait son coming out auprès de sa mère, Charlie et lui tentent de plus en plus de s'affirmer en tant que couple. Mais entre les cours et les examens, ils peinent à trouver le temps de se voir. Heureusement, le voyage scolaire arrive à grands pas! Et quoi de mieux qu'une excursion à Paris pour se retrouver entre amoureux ?
Voici l'histoire de deux lycéens.
Deux amis qui ont appris à se connaître, à s'apprécier.
Puis un baiser a tout fait basculer.
Un baiser et Nick a paniqué.
Il aime Charlie.
Il veut être avec lui. Mais est-il prêt à affronter le regard des autres ?
Cette question, il ne peut la résoudre seul.
Heureusement, Charlie est à ses côtés.
Et, ensemble, main dans la main, ils vont avancer.
Charlie était persuadé que Nick ne partagerait jamais ses sentiments. Pourtant, les voilà officiellement en couple, et Charlie se sent de plus en plus prêt à dire « je t'aime ». Nick partage ses sentiments, mais il a plein de choses en tête, notamment faire son coming-out à son père et les possibles troubles alimentaires de Charlie. Alors que l'été devient automne et que la rentrée approche, Charlie et Nick vont en apprendre beaucoup sur l'amour, le vrai, et tout ce qu'il implique. Heartstopper est un livre qui aborde des sujets forts tel que l'amour, l'amitié, la loyauté, et les maladies mentales. Il réunit les tranches de vie de Charlie et Nick pour créer quelque chose de plus grand, qui peut parler à toutes et tous.
Par Alice Oseman, l'autrice de la série phare Heartstopper, disponible sur Netflix.
« On est censés vivre la plus belle période de notre vie. On est jeunes, on est en train de décider de notre avenir (c'est en tout cas ce qu'on nous répète), on a des amis. Mais en fait, tous, on attend que quelque chose change. Becky, ma meilleure amie, avec qui je rigole de moins en moins. Lucas, qui réapparaît dans ma vie après toutes ces années. Mon frère Charlie, la plus belle personne que je connaisse. Michael Holden, avec son sourire trop grand. Et moi, la fille la plus cynique et pessimiste du lycée. On attend tous que quelque chose change. »
Georgia n'a jamais été amoureuse, n'a jamais embrassé qui que ce soit. Elle n'a même jamais eu de crush . Mais en tant que romantique endurcie passionnée de fan-fictions, elle est persuadée qu'elle finira par trouver LA bonne personne.
Alors qu'elle commence l'université aux côtés de ses meilleurs amis Pip et Jason, Georgia est fin prête à trouver l'amour. Et avec une colocataire extravertie et une place à la Shakespeare Society , son rêve semble sur le point de se réaliser.
Or lorsque ses désirs de romance sèment la pagaille au sein de ses amis, Georgia se retrouve embourbée dans sa propre tragédie. Elle commence à se demander pourquoi l'amour paraît si simple pour les autres et pas pour elle. Avec un nouveau vocabulaire jeté à ses pieds - asexuelle, aromantique -, Georgia est plus incertaine que jamais face à ses sentiments.
Est-elle vraiment destinée à rester sans amour ? Ou s'est-elle trompée de voie depuis le début ?
Loin des yeux, près du coeur, pas vrai ?
CHARLIE : « Je sors avec Nick depuis deux ans. Il aime le rugby, la formule 1, les chiens, l'univers Marvel, le bruit des feutres sur le papier, la pluie et dessiner sur les chaussures. Et il m'aime, moi. ».
NICK : « Choses que nous faisons avec Charlie à la maison : Regarder des films. Rester assis dans la même pièce chacun sur son PC. Nous envoyer des textos depuis une autre pièce. Nous embrasser. Cuisiner. Préparer des boissons. Trop boire. Discuter. Nous disputer. Rire. Nous sommes peut-être un peu ennuyeux. Mais ça nous va. ».
Tout le monde sait que Nick et Charlie forment le couple parfait - qu'ils sont inséparables. Mais Nick s'apprête désormais à partir pour l'université, et Charlie restera au lycée. Tout le monde veut savoir s'ils vont rester ensemble. Question idiote - on parle quand même de « Nick et Charlie » !
Mais alors que l'heure des au revoir approche inexorablement, Nick et Charlie se demandent si leur amour est suffisamment fort pour surmonter la distance. Ne repoussent-ils pas l'inévitable ? C'est bien connu : le premier amour dure rarement pour toujours...
La période des fêtes n'est pas toujours heureuse pour Tori Spring et son frère Charlie. Et cette année sera encore plus difficile que d'habitude.
J'ai toujours pensé qu'il valait mieux que les choses soient difficiles plutôt qu'ennuyeuses, mais j'avais tort... Je ne penserai pas à ces derniers mois, à Charlie et moi, et à toute cette tristesse. Je vais tout oublier. Rien qu'aujourd'hui.
« Joyeux Noël », dis-je.

The fourth novel from the phenomenally talented Alice Oseman - one of the most authentic and talked-about voices in contemporary YA. It was all sinking in. I''d never had a crush on anyone. No boys, no girls, not a single person I had evermet. What did that mean? Georgia has never been in love, never kissed anyone, never even had a crush - but as a fanfic-obsessed romantic she''s sure she''ll find her person one day. As she starts university with her best friends, Pip and Jason, in a whole new town far from home, Georgia''s ready to find romance, and with her outgoing roommate on her side and a place in the Shakespeare Society, her ''teenage dream'' is in sight. But when her romance plan wreaks havoc amongst her friends, Georgia ends up in her own comedy of errors, and she starts to question why love seems so easy for other people but not for her. With new terms thrown at her - asexual, aromantic - Georgia is more uncertain about her feelings than ever. Is she destined to remain loveless? Or has she been looking for the wrong thing all along? This wise, warm and witty story of identity and self-acceptance sees Alice Oseman on towering form as Georgia and her friends discover that true love isn''t limited to romance.
A short novella based on the beloved characters from the graphic novel Heartstopper and Alice Oseman''s debut novel Solitaire , which was praised as '' The Catcher in the Rye for the digital age'' by The Times . Absence makes the heart grow fonder, right? CHARLIE: ''I have been going out with Nick Nelson for two years. He likes rugby, Formula 1, dogs, the Marvel universe, the sound felt-tips make on paper, rain and drawing on shoes. He also likes me.'' NICK: ''Things me and Charlie Spring do together include: Watch films. Sit in the same room on different laptops. Text each other from different rooms. Make out. Make food. Make drinks. Get drunk. Talk. Argue. Laugh. Maybe we''re kind of boring. But that''s fine with us.'' Everyone knows that Nick and Charlie are the perfect couple - that they''re inseparable. But now Nick is leaving for university, and Charlie will be left behind at Sixth Form. Everyone''s asking if they''re staying together, which is a stupid question - they''re ''Nick and Charlie'' for God''s sake! But as the time to say goodbye gets inevitably closer, both Nick and Charlie question whether their love is strong enough to survive being apart. Or are they delaying the inevitable? Because everyone knows that first loves rarely last forever...
In case you're wondering, this is not a love story.

For Angel Rahimi life is about one thing: The Ark - a pop-rock trio of teenage boys who are taking the world by storm.

He''s their frontman - and playing in a band with his mates is all he ever dreamed of doing. But dreams don''t always turn out the way you think and when Jimmy and Angel are unexpectedly thrust together, they find out how strange and surprising facing up to reality can be. A funny, wise, and heartbreakingly true coming of age novel. I Was Born for This is a stunning reflection of modern teenage life, and the power of believing in something - especially yourself.

The acclaimed novels from Alice Oseman, the author of the 2021 YA Book Prize winning Loveless '' The Catcher in the Rye for the digital age'' The Times SOLITAIRE My name is Tori Spring. I like to sleep and I like to blog. Last year - before all that stuff with Charlie and before I had to face the harsh realities of A-Levels and university applications and the fact that one day I really will have to start talking to people - I had friends. Things were very different, I guess, but that''s all over now.
Now there''s Solitaire. And Michael Holden.
RADIO SILENCE What if everything you set yourself up to be was wrong?
Frances has always been a study machine with one goal, elite university. Nothing will stand in her way; not friends, not a guilty secret - not even the person she is on the inside.
But when Frances meets Aled, the shy genius behind her favourite podcast, she discovers a new freedom. He unlocks the door to Real Frances and for the first time she experiences true friendship, unafraid to be herself. Then the podcast goes viral and the fragile trust between them is broken.
