Like the This Winter novella, I found this to be a lovely bitesize story of Nick and Charlie. Ultimately, the themes explored with Nick and Charlie are dark, but they are dealt with in an appropriate way. I also really loved the images that were beside the story because they link to the graphic novels nicely and compliment the storyline. 

There isn't much to say about this one as it is short and has some darker moments, but is generally sweet. I have loved the Heartstopper universe and I will be sad when it ends.

Lovely book, just at times found Charlie to be a bit immature and annoying. I preferred ‘This Winter’. Love Nick & Charlie’s love story though.

i really don't like how nick and charlie (mostly charlie) are portrayed in this. i much prefer heartstopper - it feels so much more authentic.

I could read about Nick and Charlie forever. Their innocence that is laced with wisdom far beyond their years is delightful. The graphic novels are great and this novella was no different. Even through the growing pains of getting older, Nick and Charlie’s love endures.
