“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

“I hadn’t realized I was crying. I don’t really feel sad. I don’t really feel anything.”
― Alice Oseman, Solitaire

“I've always hated being asked if I'm OK. The available answers are either to lie and say I'm fine, or to massively and embarrassingly overshare.”
― Alice Oseman, Loveless

“I just care about you so much...but I've always got this fear that...one day you'll leave. Or Pip and Jason will leave, or...I don't know.' Fresh tears fell from my cheeks. 'I'm never going to fall in love, so...my friendships are all I have, so...I just...can't bear the idea of losing any of my friends. Because I'm never going to have that one special person.”
― Alice Oseman, Loveless
