Omg!!

Going back to Nick and Charlie and reviewed it again making me smile. This book is really bring memories to me. And Alice, thank you again for writing this sweet and cute masterpiece. The fight scene still wreck me, yes.

But, I love both Nick and Charlie. They are so special for me. This novella... with this US version and the dust jacket; I approved. My rate didn't change. Still worthy of 5⭐!

The whole story is about Nick and Charlie. And yes... they can't break up because they are Nick and Charlie. Thank you, Alice!

I really like how the characters in Alice‘s books tend to be aware of any unfair judgement/thoughts they’re having. They still feel that way & no one’s invalidating that; but they acknowledge when they’re being unfair and then try to deal with their feelings. I think her books are great examples for YA stories with a good balance between immaturity / relatability and maturity / accountability / character growth

This was focused a bit more on troubles and problems in Nick's and Charlie's relationship, but it was still so heartwarming and hopeful. It felt authentic and fitting.
