Alice Oseman never disappoints with her ‘Heartstopper’ characters. A lovely little novella of their lives during the winter time, as well as a chance to see different perspectives from Charlie Spring and his two siblings, Tori and Oliver, thorough out the story.
A perfect, quick read that can finished in one sitting. This novella will get any ‘Heartstopper’ fan ready for the winter season in a cozy fashion.

Content Warnings

Moderate: Eating disorder

It is brought up Charlie’s road to recovery on his E.D. Nothing in graphic detail, though those that might be struggling may want to make note of it. As always, Oseman does an excellent job at providing resources for readers to use if they need to seek help.
