I’m glad I finally read this and I’m SOOOOO hoping we get this in the series cause it shows so much of Charlie’s eating disorder and we get to know the rest of the family- especially Oliver and it’s SO SAD HES NOT IN THE SERIES!!!!

This was a quick, character-driven supplemental story to Solitaire and Heartstopper (vol 4) — a lightning-fast read only worth checking out alongside the other books. I’ve always really enjoyed Tori, so it was nice to see more about her relationship with Charlie. Alive Oseman writes teenagers so well, and I love the Spring siblings! And as usual, she tackles real-life, difficult issues with such a deft, caring touch. Charlie’s journey with anorexia is well-drawn that it becomes a teachable moment without being pedantic. Oseman, you’re too good.
