Reviews with content warning for Alcohol - Nick et Charlie

As a fan of "Heartstopper", I was very excited to read some more content from two of my favorite characters.
"Nick and Charlie" is a novella that follows Nick and Charlie during Nick's senior year. Nick is about to graduate and head off to university, and Charlie wants to be excited and happy for him, but he is scared about what this means for their future.
This novella was a little different from the rest of the "Heartstopper" content out there because it is set a few years in the future, and the characters feel a little different. This is not the same story of pure happiness, but I did think this novella stayed true to the characters.

In this story, Nick and Charlie break up because Charlie is so consumed with the idea that Nick is going to head off to university and forget about him. With Charlie's already established mental health struggles, I thought this was very authentic to his character. Charlie would self-sabotage a great thing because of his own insecurities. I know some people did not like this, but I appreciated seeing the characters endure something that is very real for many people.

Although this is not my favorite "Heartstopper" content, I did enjoy seeing Nick and Charlie in a new environment tackling new problems together.

Wahhhh I love these boys so much!! I’m not quite sure where it fits in the chronology of Heartstopper, but it was a beautiful story either way: full of the same adorable romance that I’ve come to expect from Oseman.
