The Heartstopper Series
This graphic novel series is the one that inspired the Netflix hit series. My older daughter has read all of the novels and has watched the entire series. This is a controversial series for some, but we are in 2025. Love is love and if this series provides a perspective on love and friendship, I am all for it!
