“...honestly I'm having a proper full-on GAY PANIC.”
― Alice Oseman, Heartstopper: Volume Two

“Friends are automatically classed as 'less important' than romantic partners. I'd never questioned that. It was just the way the world was. I guess I'd always felt that friendship just couldn't compete with what a partner offered, and that I'd never really experience real love until I found romance.
But if that had been true, I probably wouldn't have felt like this.”
― Alice Oseman, Loveless

“I thought… I just really liked you as a friend… a best friend… because, like, I want to hang out with you all the time and I just love everything about you… but I kept wanting to… I don’t know… hug you and hold your hand and then yesterday, when you suggested it, I- I really wanted to kiss you.”
― Alice Oseman, Heartstopper: Volume Two

“Nick and Charlie! Are the two of you coming, or-Oh. You're being gay. Good job. Carry on.”
