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!

A quick, short read about a wholesome relationship between young people. Sprinkled with different matters related to LGBTQ+ struggles, teenage issues and mental health, this is a cute book that encourages to always strive for the best in relationships, after all.

😍 The good:
The outlook on relationships was rather positive and the main characters evolved in a good direction. From being insecure and bickering to solving conflicts and understanding each other, we get to follow a sweet love story. The book is relatable for its age group and is written in a nice style, expressing also some deep ideas.

😅 The not-so-good:
Not that much to say here: the story contained some unhealthy behaviours as well, but those are not that surprising considering the characters' age. This is also one of the first books from the Heartstopper franchise, so obviously it's not the best one out there, being still somehow simplistic and too short to develop too much.
