Do Charlie and Nick Break Up in Alice Oseman's Heartstopper Novels?

Though Alice Oseman's Heartstopper graphic novels have been a huge hit for quite some time, it wasn't until Netflix adapted the story in 2022 that the author and her books became a household name. The tender LGBTQ+ story instantly appealed to audiences, as Charlie and Nick's romance felt so cozy and comfortable that it was impossible not to fall under its spell.

And while the second season of the show ended on a rather reassuring note, with Nick and Charlie almost confessing their love for each other, fans still have some concerns about the couple's future.

The thing is, it's hard to believe that Nick and Charlie's teen romance will be so impeccable forever, so people expect some major fights in the upcoming season and worry that the two lovers might break up for good.

Did Nick and Charlie Break up in the Novels?

While you might expect to find the answer to whether Nick and Charlie would break up in Oseman's original novels, the books simply don't deal with the question, as the author has yet to finish the story. As of now, Charlie and Nick are happily dating each other, and even though they had some fights along the way, it looks like the endgame is not denied by Oseman.

Also, some fans have pointed out that the author herself has said on numerous occasions that she doesn't intend to break up the couple, but she's determined to make them fall more in love with each new book.

'She has said that they are 100% soulmates and they do get married to each other. Her exact words were, "Nick and Charlie are endgame." She's drawn comics of them living together, getting a dog, them preparing to propose to one another, etc.' a fan noted.

A Fitting Finale

Moreover, considering how uplifting the Heartstopper novels and show are, fans will surely be up in arms if Oseman decides to break up Charlie and Nick after all, since the story has to end with the two lovers getting married.

'I mean… Can you imagine if the Heartstopper story ended with Nick and Charlie breaking up and not seeing each other ever again? How heartbroken everyone who, like you, found comfort in their story would be? No, not happening,' another fan said.
