Yet another book full of Nick and Charlie being cute together. Makes me interested to see what we are gonna see in Vol 6 of Heartstopper.
The font size and spacing in this book is crazy, I sped through it like it was nothing.

Nick & Charlie shows as our favorite couple has to stop and think of what Nick going to Uni will mean for their relationship. It's not like most first loves really last, right? Will Nick and Charlie ever be an exception?

I was expecting This Winter to be the one to hit me the most out of the two novellas, but not, it was this one. Seeing our boys worry about the future of their relationship now that Nick is graduating was hard to see, but made it even better towards the end.

I also made the mistake of finishing this just minutes before my shift yesterday, and it only made me internally sob for the rest of my shift. It’s just a good read and I loved seeing my boys get out of this even stronger. 

If you can’t get enough of Heartstopper and want to take a glimpse into the future, you really need to get your hands on these immediately.

This is a fantastic novella and more of the Nick and Charlie content I need in my life. They are big dumb idiots and I love them.
