Oseman's character development is superb, and there were a few times I wasn't sure where the boys relationship was headed.
I loved the book and like
Editor David Levithan contributes some useful end matter explaining the differences between British and American language and school systems.
Nick is leaving for university soon, and Charlie, a year younger, will be left behind to finish his last year of school. Everyone keeps asking them if they’re going to stay together, and Nick and Charlie both think that’s a silly question…
What a cute and adorable novella in the Nick and Charlie universe! I absolutely loved the graphic novels, so I knew I would enjoy this novella too. I haven’t read any of Alice Oseman’s novels yet, so this was kind of a sneak peak for me to see her writing style outside of graphic novels - and I really enjoyed it. Oseman was able to convey descriptions of what was happening, in the various first person POVs of Nick and Charlie, well and I know that can be a bit of a challenge when writing it versus drawing it.
I’m glad Oseman still brought up Charlie’s eating troubles and what that looks like years down the line. As it was kind of mentioned, it’s not something that just “gets fixed”, and it’s something Charlie is constantly working on and something that Nick is aware of (like the eating of snacks).
This was a nice and cute, quick and short read. Totally started the book at 9 in the evening and had it finished before bed. I highly recommend this to lovers of the Heartstopper series as you’ll get the same lovey-dovey feels you got from the graphic novels!
Charlie and Nick have now been dating for two years and now Nick is graduating and about to start University. Not really a full story, just a short episode--one big spat and then they
I was looking for something quick and easy to listen to on Christmas Day and at just under two hours this was a perfect read. We meet some of the friends from Heartstopper but mostly we focus on the two boys and they navigate actually talking about their feelings.
Easy listen and a nice addition to the series.
