When the lgbtq+ teen drama heartstopper hit netflix in 2022, the tv show proved to be a huge hit with viewers. Charlie Spring and Nick Nelson’s story captured the hearts of millions around the world and made the show one of the streaming service’s most successful debuts.
But I probably don’t need to tell you this, since you’ve probably already seen Heartstopper five times, and are currently reading about lead actors Joe Locke and Kit Connor, before seeing issue six. that sound good?
You are reading: Alice oseman books timeline
well, let’s say you’ve seen heartstopper several times, you’re in joe & kit fan club, and you’ve devoured every blooper reel, backstage report and cast interview currently available, where are you going now? you go to the original source material, of course!
Heartstopper didn’t just materialise out of thin air – the show is based on a series of graphic novels by author, Alice Oseman. Oseman has written a number of stories (including novellas and graphic novels), all set in the same universe, some of which feature Nick and Charlie.
The most notable of these stories are the heart-stopping graphic novels, which inspired the show. But other books, like Solitaire and Nick and Charlie, also feature characters that viewers will be familiar with.
but let’s say you want to jump into the literary world, read books, where the hell do you start? Is there a specific order to the Alice Oseman books, or should I just dive in and take a chance on one of the stories?
well that’s where this post should come in handy. Below is a list of all of Alice Oseman’s books, presented in publication order and chronological order.
The first list (see below) gives you the titles of all the books you might want to search for. the second list (also below) suggests a reading order, which you might like to follow, to read the stories in chronological order.
