This Winter is a Heartstopper novella told from the POV of the Spring siblings during a difficult festive season.

I am keeping the review short since this is already a very short story. I don’t have any complaints about this, instead, it helped fill the Heartstopper void I was having. 

I liked seeing the point of view of Victoria, Charlie, and even Oliver. The latter was so adorable that I almost cried. Despite being short, it was an emotional read and if you’re easily triggered by discussions of eating disorders, I would tap this one out. However, if you don’t and you love Heartstopper, this is a must-read.
