ALICE OSEMAN’S

Heartstopper novels sparked one of the biggest global hits on netflix last year, and in series two there will be a character particularly close to her heart. Oseman, right, has let slip that one of her young protagonists will be just like her. she told Attitude magazine: ‘I am both Ace and Aro. Those words mean little-to-no sexual attraction or little-to-no romantic attraction. ‘netflix will hate me for spilling but, yes, asexuality will be discussed in a really big way. I’m excited. I hope it will change the world. It’s a complicated thing to understand about yourself. People are asking the wrong questions.’
