Short, quick read that covers the Christmas in between Heartstopper 4 & 5. It was nice getting into each of the characters' POVs. It does break my heart to see Charlie going through such a hard time.

The characters felt more fleshed-out than in Heartstopper. It was sweet, and I liked the way mental health was talked about, but it was emotionally unsatisfying that half the resolution happened off-page.

Nice to be back with the Heartstopper characters. A more in depth look at mental illness and different attitudes. I think I prefer the graphic novels, but I still liked it - just wanted a bit more. Greedy I know, I mean it does say it's a novella haha
