Still loving Alice Oseman, always love Nick and Charlie, and thought the handling on Charlie’s eating disorder and mental illness here was really good. Enjoyed and continue to feel so grateful that these exist for teens.

It’s Christmas Day and Charlie is just recently left a psychiatric facility for his eating disorder. It’s already a difficult time of year, but the anticipation of loads of family and festivities has Charlie and his sister Tori stressed out. On top of that a lack of communication between Charlie and his mom makes the situation becomes volatile. Charlie leaves, abandoning Tori to spend the rest of Christmas with his boyfriend Nick. Alice Oseman writes these really tough topics so respectfully while still creating a very entertaining story. Charlie and Nick have to be the most disgustingly adorable couple ever, making this another warm and fuzzy comfort read.

A lil precious novella about 8 months into Nick & Charlie’s relationship on Christmas 🖤

We dive into Charlie’s dynamic with his extended family a bit more, especially when navigating their ableism and perpetuating of harmful narratives about psychiatric wards.

We get Tori & Oliver’s perspectives too, which I loved!
