I didnt love it. It was good and it dealt with the topic of mental illnesses really well and I of course loved the characters but the plot was a bit pointless for me. 
I feel like Charlie and his mom having an argument is the main cause for the plot (talking about mental health and leaving his house on christmas day) and then Charlie comes bavk and his mom simply apologizes...there is no real development there

This was a wonderful novella detailing Nick and Charlie's Christmas. There are some difficult themes dealt with in this novella but the writing is great and the characters are lovable. It is a great read for coming out a reading slump because it is short and keeps your attention.
