Just a feel good heartstopper Novella where David is hilariously stupid and terrible and Tori is an icon!

It was okay. I enjoyed Heartstopper but this was short and repetitive

TW: ED (mentioned/discussed a lot) self h*rm (described), su*cide attempt (mentioned/described), h*mophobia (especially biph*bia, mentioned/described)

This was an insight of Charlie’s, Tori’s and Oliver’s Christmas. While it was of course sad reading about the things they have to deal with, I also think it was very real. This novella brings attention to the fact that christmas celebrations aren’t always perfect.
There CAN BE issues with family members. There ARE topics that come up that should better not be addressed on a day such as this one. There ARE people that don’t always have the best time on these days. This exists!! And I think that’s so important to know.

The holidays may be a bright time for the majority, but there are also people that genuinely struggle to get through them.
I’m sending love to everyone reading this, who usually does struggle. You are not alone <3
