The Front List: Alice Oseman in conversation with Lauren James image
Synopsis:

Join Alice Oseman, the creator of global smash-hit coming-of-age romance Heartstopper, for a very special in conversation event with Lauren James.
 
Heartstopper follows Nick and Charlie, two teenage boys who meet at grammar school, quickly become friends and fall in love. The story navigates the ups and downs of first loves, friendships, coming out and mental health, beautifully framed by a warm cast of supporting characters. Heartstopper started life as a webcomic, quickly becoming an online sensation with over 100 million views. The #1 Sunday Times and New York Times bestselling graphic novels that followed brought this charming love story to even more readers – with Heartstopper Volume 5 instantly becoming the UK’s fastest selling graphic novel ever. Now a critically acclaimed major Netflix series written by Alice Oseman, Heartstopper is a truly global phenomenon.
