Still loving Alice Oseman, always love Nick and Charlie, and thought the handling on Charlie’s eating disorder and mental illness here was really good. Enjoyed and continue to feel so grateful that these exist for teens.

Wish it had more illustrations! Otherwise, I loved it like all Alice Osman’s 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.
