I SHALL NEVER FALL IN LOVE

Set in early 19th century England, I Shall Never Fall in Love is based on the works of Jane Austen and takes inspiration from Anne Lister's diaries - adapted for a young modern audience, it's the perfect match between Heartstopper and Bridgerton.

George (born Georgiana) is trying to ignore the fact that they're in love with their best friend, Eleanor. George needs to focus on taking over the ailing family estate when they turn 18, and avoiding their aunt's engagement schemes - surely if anyone finds out they're pining hope- lessly over a girl or dressing in men's clothes in secret, it would only make things harder. Eleanor has never met a boy she was interested in, and tells everyone confidently she will never fall in love - blithely unaware that her romantic interests might lie elsewhere. But while Eleanor wishes things could stay the same - never having to think about boys, money or confront uncomfortable truths about her privileged place in society - everything is changing fast, and George and her cousin Charlotte seem to be growing up without her. When a mysterious young gentleman arrives in town and shows an interest in Eleanor, everyone assumes she's finally attracted a serious suitor -- and George realises that they might be out of time to confess their true feelings.
