Nick and Charlie by Alice Oseman
3.0
Not sure how to feel about this one. Obviously Nick and Charlie are cute together, but I’ve always hated how much drama Charlie can create out of nothing, and he did it again here. He basically drove Nick away because of his own insecurities, without telling him why, and then let him stew in his heartbreak for two whole weeks before finally saying he doesn’t actually want to break up. I felt a little bad for Nick to be honest…
Also, I have to say I was a little shocked to see how easily both of them were willing to give up on their entire relationship because of one fight. I would have thought they wanted to make up right away, or at least try to talk it out. But nope. Just radio silence for weeks…
That said, I did really enjoy reading about these two in novel format for a change. It’s definitely very different from experiencing their story through a graphic novel, so this gave an interesting new perspective.
It was also very different because the story takes place two years in the future, so the vibe between these two was much more mature and less wholesome. If I’m being honest, they actually didn’t quite feel like themselves to me, but not to the point of it feeling too weird.
