Cute little short about Christmas from each of the Spring family siblings (Tori, Charlie, and Oliver). If you’re a fan of Heartstopper then you’ll enjoy this as a nice character study.

"I hate Christmas" 

"No, you don't,"

"I hate this one,"

"Everyone hates this one. This whole winter has been a bit shit."

"Yep."

Why is a seven year old trying to make me cryyyy??? 😭😭😭

"Being on my own without a brother or a sister would be weird. I'd like it. Who are you supposed to play with? Or ask to reach stuff for you? There wouldn't be anyone to carry me around. And there'd be two empty bedrooms in the house, and we'd probably get ghosts living here. I really don't like ghosts."

I honestly can't wait to read volume 6 so I can read Nick and Charlie because I love my boys 🥺

"I think sometimes," says Nick "you're so scared of being a burden that it makes you terrified to ask for help. But you have lots of people around you. That would be there for you, if you opened up about what help you need."

Also, GOD, I hate David.

It’s a nice read. Just make sure you at least know some of the Heartstopper series and the novel Solitaire, it’s like a DLC to those books lol

It was good. Just a small little novella between Heartstopper/Solitaire and the illustrations were nice. I don’t have much to say about it so 3.75 feels right
