"Nick and Charlie" is a novella that follows Nick and Charlie during Nick's senior year. Nick is about to graduate and head off to university, and Charlie wants to be excited and happy for him, but he is scared about what this means for their future.
This novella was a little different from the rest of the "Heartstopper" content out there because it is set a few years in the future, and the characters feel a little different. This is not the same story of pure happiness, but I did think this novella stayed true to the characters.
Although this is not my favorite "Heartstopper" content, I did enjoy seeing Nick and Charlie in a new environment tackling new problems together.

I also generally hate the "miscommunication" trope and this novel was FULL of it. This trope in particular doesn't really fit the dynamic of Nick + Charlie's relationship either, making it feel odd next to the original graphic novels.
However I did feel like the plot/conflict was relevant and reflective of this point in teenage life, which I appreciated!! I'm also a Tori and Nick's Mom stan so that helped boost my rating lmao.
