Gosto muito da forma como Alice fala sobre assuntos delicados, como saúde mental, de uma forma apesar de simples, bem respeitosa e empática. É muito legal acompanhar uma cena que já vimos nos outros livros, de uma forma mais destrinchada, com mais detalhes.
Eu já amava Charlie e Tori, além de Nick, claro. Mas Oliver ganhou meu coração nessa novela.

Less compelling than the Heartstopper graphic novels, but a nice supplement to flesh out some more of the Charlie’s struggles and Nick’s love, as well as their families. Best character in this one is Oliver. He’s so cute! Character I’ll never understand is David. Wish the author would develop more so we could understand why he’s so mean all the time.

This was a quick little story that sheds some light on the struggles Charlie and his siblings face on a difficult Christmas after he comes home from inpatient psychiatric care for his eating disorder. There was a nice little resolution and a sense of hope at the end, but the story was so short that it was a little lacking compared to the graphic novels.
