BuzzFeed UK: Hi Alice! First off, I have to ask, BuzzFeed is mentioned in the Heartstopper books and the series – does it feel like a full circle moment talking to us today?Alice: Oh my God, I'd not thought about that.
I guess it is! BuzzFeed is like the place you go for internet quizzes, which is why it comes up when Nick is Googling. But yeah, how weird.BuzzFeed UK: I had to ask!
So to give people a little context, could you briefly summarise the series for those who might not already be familiar with it?Alice: Sure!
Heartstopper is the story of Nick and Charlie, two boys who meet at an all-boys grammar school. Charlie is openly gay and quite introverted, which he's been bullied for; Nick is a rugby player and is very popular.
