The Books: Heartstopper Vol. 5

It's almost time to put Heartstopper away for a little while.

Don't worry, there's more Oseman universe fun to come later down the line!

Series 3 Outtakes

It's us. We're the April Fools.
 
Against our better judgment, and all advice, we have decided to share with you some more of the bits that we absolutely could not include this time from our discussions about series 3 of Heartstopper. Their will be some disappointingly teenage language choices, stumbles, fumbles, childish behaviour and A LOT of very heavy innuendo. Also burps. We just hope that this doesn't alter your opinions of us and that you come back for more episodes of You're Not Allowed to Say the 'S' Word. Be warned, this is definitely a blooper collection for ages 15+.
