My first novella by Alice Oseman was definitely a winner.

Nick and Charlie follows the couple shortly after the Heartstopper books are set. Nick is due to leave for university soon but Charlie is worried about what it will do to their relationship. Can they work things out, or will the distance break them?

I absolutely adored this charming novella. My main issue with the Nick and Charlie books is that I want more!!! I would quite happily just read them for the rest of my life. This book managed to wrap itself right into my heart as usual. I just wish it was longer, I don’t feel like I’ll ever be fully satisfied because I love Nick and Charlie too much! When I started this journey I never thought it would get to this, but they are genuinely my favourite fictional couple. I get so much nostalgia from their teenage love, yet their love has an extra depth and is so so cute!

I loved the references to my favourite characters and feel like this is such a helpful book for teenagers who are heading to university soon. I feel it may really help them work through some of their feelings if they are in a relationship. I do think that this one is a little more grown up than the Heartstopper books, a little less PG. All I want to do now is devour every single one of Oseman’s books. They just make my heart feel light and put a smile on my face!

I recommend this novella to any fans of the Heartstopper books, it’s lovely to see how Nick and Charlie have progressed!
