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.

This was a short and very, very sweet novella.

There wasn't a whole lot of plot - Nick and Charlie are together, but Charlie has one year of school left and Nick is off to university, Charlie worries about whether their relationship will survive long-distance - but to be honest, there didn't need to be (although it would have been nice!)

The main message I took from Nick and Charlie was that a romantic relationship doesn't always need to be full of excitement and drama to be worthwhile. Sure, some couples might enjoy going skydiving or bungee jumping, but that couple who stay home and watch TV or browse the Internet is just as valid. Different strokes for different folks, as they say.

Also, I loved Nick and Charlie's

getting-back-together date and I need to know where that beach is

.

A lovely, heartwarming read.
