I love Charlie and Nick. Oseman can do no wrong with these two. I also liked getting to read the perspectives of Charlie’s siblings in this novella.

heartstopper is a super cute series that i love, and i wanted a quick read to curb my boredom today so here we are!

nick nelson, anytime i read about you i just wanna pinch your little cheeks. such a supportive little sweetie. i also love tori and the love she has for her brothers. charlie is such a strong character and i was proud of him listening to advice on how to manage his disorders from the people around him. and little oliver was adorable. 

if you relate to charlie, please know you’re loved. and there are people who care about you. and resources. and programs. asking for help or even just confiding in someone is nothing to be ashamed of. and i hope you have someone strong in your corner during the holiday season (and every other day ). i love you and you’re never a burden.

Alice Oseman is without a doubt a fantastic writer. 
I liked this book and found it easy to read, yet hard to digest. The topics it discusses are quite heavy and intense. Please check trigger warnings before reading any of Alice Oseman's books, because they can unassumingly get very dark, and don't be afraid to reach out if you are struggling. 
- have a great Christmas!! 🎄

Minor: Homophobia and Vomit

This Winter is quite sad for a Christmas novella, but it accurately captures the experience of someone with an ED in situations like a Christmas lunch. It can be quite useful for someone wanting to learn more about this, yet at the same time it could be extremely triggering. For that reason, I would highly recommend checking trigger warnings before reading any Alice Oseman books.

This Winter is a nice side story to the comics of heartstopper. You really get to see what happened during Christmas and how much it not only affected Charlie, but his siblings as well. Hearing the things Charlie went through is sad, but helps you connect with him even more. His support system of Tori and Nick is amazing and creates a lovely story.
