I can’t explain it but I kind of felt this novella underwhelming but I appreciated showing some realism since couples do fight from time to time. It was just alright, though.

I have never read the original—I read the revised edition from 2020–but even without knowledge of how that read, I found the way Tao and Elle’s breakup/getting back together poorly handled. You find out they broke up and then a few chapters later via a text Tao sends, he tells Charlie they’re getting back together. I love Elle and Tao in the comics/show and understand the fan service but I feel like keeping together was a mistake. I think it would’ve been nice to know that they broke up but stayed friends or something like that. Idk, it just didn’t make much sense to me and them making up felt out of the blue.

I like Alice’s graphic novels more but I still loved this book. Beware it is just one big miscommunication trope. I got so angry at Nick and Charlie for not talking but it’s fine, it’s fine, everything is fine.

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!

This book was so cute and perfect! I loved how it all went and I honestly couldn’t put it down! A fast paced book about everyone’s favourite couple! The new cover is also adorable.
