A lil precious novella about 8 months into Nick & Charlie’s relationship on Christmas 🖤

We dive into Charlie’s dynamic with his extended family a bit more, especially when navigating their ableism and perpetuating of harmful narratives about psychiatric wards. 

We get Tori & Oliver’s perspectives too, which I loved!

Schizophrenia is mentioned under an asshole’s misconceptions, and Charlie’s family are assholes about his time in the psychiatric ward.

This winter was probably my favourite story in within the Solitaire books. I think it was a lovely look into the Spring family dynamic and I definitely enjoyed getting to listen to Oliver’s point of view. I think it was a very enjoyable read.
