*WARNING* This episode contains spoilers for Heartstopper Volume 5.

Did Alice set out for Heartstopper to be a happy love story? Will Volume 6 really be the last instalment in the series? These are all burning questions we couldn't wait to ask Alice Oseman, the brains behind graphic novel series Heartstopper. The books are a worldwide phenomenon as well as a smash-hit Netflix series, and the latest instalment is no different.

Alice tells us all about Volume 5 and the importance of themes within it and also discusses channeling personal experiences while writing about asexuality. Do you want a Heartstopper read along when the long awaited final instalment Volume 6 comes out?! Let us know!
