Moving on, we have I Was Born for This, which is a story centering around Jimmy Kaga-Ricci, the lead singer and frontman of The Ark, and Angel Rahimi, a die-hard fan of the band. People they have, like, an emotional connection with. Aside from these main themes, there are also brief discussions about bisexuality, coming out in an all-boys school, and demisexuality:Īnd some people just feel like they’re … like … partly asexual, so …they only feel sexually attracted to people who they know really, really well. Discussing making and losing friends, and the stress that comes from university applications, Radio Silence is an emotional read. ![]() The book is pretty heavy and has in-depth depiction of depression. Next on our list is Radio Silence, which is also set in the Heartstopper universe but focuses on Aled and a new character called Frances instead. Again, this is not a story about LGBT+ experiences, but features Nick and Charlie. This time, the story centres around Tori, Charlie’s sister and her constant urge to push people away and destroy friendships. Turning to the standalone novels, we have Solitaire, which is again set in the Heartstopper universe. However, these stories are not about LGBT+ experiences, but simply stories of the daily life. ![]() Hence, we have Nick, a gay character, Charlie, a bi character, and a brief mention of Elle in Nick and Charlie, a trans character, and Aled, whom we will discuss later (AND IF YOU DON’T RECOGNISE ALED - READ THE GRAPHIC NOVELS DON’T JUST WATCH THE SHOW). We aren’t introduced any new characters, but we have the usual gang. Turning first to her novellas, This Winter and Nick and Charlie, these two are spin-off short stories set in the Heartstopper universe. Solitaire features Nick and Charlie (so gay and bi characters), Radio Silence features bi, gay, and demisexual characters, I Was Born for This features gay, bi, and trans characters! None of those books are 'about' being LGBTQ+, though.
