Alice Oseman & Holly Jackson win TikTok Book Awards 2023
The graphic novel behind Netflix's Heartstopper and the author of the young adult mystery series A Good Girl's Guide to Murder were among the winners at the first TikTok Book Awards. Alice Oseman won the award for Heartstopper: Volume One in the category for the Best Book I Wish I Could Read Again For The First Time.
Author of the year went to Holly Jackson, well known for Good Girl's Guide to Murder series. The first book in that collection, published in 2019, focuses on a schoolgirl who investigates a local murder which is more complex than it seems as part of her final year project. Holly Jackson said: "I can't say how much BookTok has changed my life. The support you've shown for The Good Girl's Guide to Murder series has been overwhelming, sometimes a little scary! Thank you so much for voting for me, wow I've got a trophy!"
