This was the last Alice Oseman book I had left 🥲
This was so good oh my god I love Alice Oseman’s writing so much. A beautiful addition to the solitaire/nick&charlie universe.

I read this book in all of one hour, and while being such a quick read I really enjoyed the space that was given expand on topics explored more briefly in the Heartstopper series. It was great to be able to see the Spring Siblings dynamic, and singular point of views.
Personally, I find the style of writing that Alice Oseman has is one that is easy to follow yet creates incredibly complex characters and plot. This rings true throughout this book.

Cute novella about people trying their best, with the Spring siblings as our narrators. Oliver’s chapter was so darn cute ☺️
