I love Charlie and Nick. Oseman can do no wrong with these two. I also liked getting to read the perspectives of Charlie’s siblings in this novella.

Really good representation of both the fun side of Christmas but also how it can be a difficult time. I also really liked how we got the perspectives of all the siblings.
