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.

I read this because it's being challenged at a local middle school. It's a sweet story about two teens deciding whether they should stay together or break up when one goes off to university. There is one sex scene at the end of the book that is slightly more explicit than fade to black.

Cute addition to the Heartstopper universe. I do find that I like Nick & Charlie in graphic novel form more than traditional novel form, though.

If they (Charlie) communicated more earlier then the problem wouldn’t have turned out as bad. Nick also needs to apologize to Tao. I wish Charlie didn’t freak out the way he did will tao and Elle. But otherwise pretty good. Ready for the next book but also not bc I don’t want it to end🥺🥲.
