I really enjoyed this book. Even though it was quite a short novella, it was super fast paced and I think it fits well into the whole Solitaire/Heartstopper-verse. I really appreciated having Oliver's POV, I think it's a crime they cut him from the tv show because he's just so cute and his perspective is so important. Overall this was a quick read and I really appreciated how Alice Oseman wrote about Charlies eating disorder with so much sensitivity and care.

I read this book after Heartstopper Volume 5 and Nick & Charlie. It was interesting to hear from the other Spring siblings, and how they feel about their family, Charlie's relationship with Nick and his eating disorder. I feel for Tori and how she tries to help her brother, but is overwhelmed, and how both older siblings try to protect Oliver from the struggles they're experiencing. This was a quick, but satisfying dive into the family's dynamics and how they try to salvage a not-so-great Christmas. I would love to read more about Tori from her perspective!
