It’s Christmas Day and Charlie is just recently left a psychiatric facility for his eating disorder. It’s already a difficult time of year, but the anticipation of loads of family and festivities has Charlie and his sister Tori stressed out. On top of that a lack of communication between Charlie and his mom makes the situation becomes volatile. Charlie leaves, abandoning Tori to spend the rest of Christmas with his boyfriend Nick. Alice Oseman writes these really tough topics so respectfully while still creating a very entertaining story. Charlie and Nick have to be the most disgustingly adorable couple ever, making this another warm and fuzzy comfort read.
