Love a little novella, very cute to get the perspectives of Tori and Oliver—gives good insight into the thoughts and feelings of siblings.

A quick read. I would say reading this after Heartstopper would be best to not get "spoilers" from reading this and Solitaire first. Looking forward to reading the other books!

“First Charlie disappeared, and then Tori disappeared, and I’m starting to wonder whether I’m next.” -- From the section from Oliver’s point of view lol, when Charlie and Tori end up at Nick’s on Christmas. This novella is such a lovely addition to the series — it expands on heavy topics in digestible ways. I also just love Oliver’s character in general — he brings up so many memories for me of my little sister. And of course, the graphics here and there are perfect. Any time with these characters is time I enjoy wholeheartedly. <3

It was fine- a bit more of the vibes of solitaire than heartstopper.

Loved the topics this novella touched on, but I do wish it was longer. I know it’s a novella in 2 larger series, but I’d love a longer version of this day and the struggles it brings. But still love these characters!
