Cute little short about Christmas from each of the Spring family siblings (Tori, Charlie, and Oliver). If you’re a fan of Heartstopper then you’ll enjoy this as a nice character study.

I adore the Heartstopper graphic novels and you should totally read it AND watch the series on Netflix because it's precious as fk.

This Winter is the prequel to Oseman's novel Solitaire. I haven't read Solitaire yet, but I will.. eventually.. in like 10 weeks.. (library loan life is rough, y'all!) But I still really enjoyed This Winter. At only 50 something pages, it's quick, it's cute, and it's wholesome. It makes you really feel for Charlie, to have to deal with relatives that judge him based on his sexual orientation and mental health struggles, and Tori, for trying her best to be the sister that Charlie needs. Nick is also in there briefly and my only complaint is that this was MUCH too short because I wanted more Charlie and Nick adorableness. But this was a nice little gobble for Heartstopper fans. ..A snacky snack that makes you want more 😝

On the plus side, I still have lots of season 2 of Heartstopper to watch! And I will patiently wait for Solitaire to free up 🤞🏻

3.75

It was good. Just a small little novella between Heartstopper/Solitaire and the illustrations were nice. I don’t have much to say about it so 3.75 feels right
