A nice bonus read for the Heartstopper fans, we get insight into the Spring Siblings' dynamic during a really tough Christmas, which many can relate to. Fast and easy read, though beware of the trigger warnings <3

heartstopper is a super cute series that i love, and i wanted a quick read to curb my boredom today so here we are!

nick nelson, anytime i read about you i just wanna pinch your little cheeks. such a supportive little sweetie. i also love tori and the love she has for her brothers. charlie is such a strong character and i was proud of him listening to advice on how to manage his disorders from the people around him. and little oliver was adorable.

if you relate to charlie, please know you’re loved. and there are people who care about you. and resources. and programs. asking for help or even just confiding in someone is nothing to be ashamed of. and i hope you have someone strong in your corner during the holiday season (and every other day ). i love you and you’re never a burden.

I should probably get some therapy or something because I related to Charlie a little bit too much.

emotional hopeful fast-paced

I've not read any of this series, but this works as a standalone Christmas story, set on Xmas day and a realistic exploration of the imperfections of family, with a heartwarming ending.

It's not a happy read. As someone who has my own mental illness struggles, it does git really close to home. I love the realism of how things are treated.
