I love Charlie and Nick. Oseman can do no wrong with these two. I also liked getting to read the perspectives of Charlie’s siblings in this novella.

I love the heartstopper series and was excited to read this novella finally. It was a quick read and I loved getting a larger peek into the world of charlie. As always, I love Nick and Charlie's relationship and how Alice Oseman touches on harder topics with an uplifting view.

Loved it, and now into Solitaire :)
I decided to read this before reading Solitaire, as (apart from it being book 0.5) I wanted a short introduction to Tori before picking Solitaire up. And I really enjoyed it, though these few pages do deal with a lot. But those topics were dealt with in a gentle way, though characters ignorant to people dealing with mental health problems and/or making fun/having stereotypes are also depicted. 

Trigger warnings for eating disorder and mental health.

this was such a lovely, quick read that I really really enjoyed! the different types of POVs was sooo cool and to see how each Spring sibling was feeling about the situation was really eye opening. I tabbed SOOO many things in this tiny little book but Alice just writes so beautifully that it makes me want to look back on the text. I really did love this book - not enough to give it 5 stars but its pretty close to perfect. also! the drawings in it was so cool and so so so cute.
