Summary

A Number 1 Audible Best Seller

A short novella based on the beloved characters from Alice Oseman’s acclaimed debut novel Solitaire and graphic novel series Heartstopper – now a major Netflix series. From the author of the 2021 YA Book Prize winning Loveless.

Absence makes the heart grow fonder, right?

CHARLIE: 'I have been going out with Nick Nelson for two years. He likes rugby, Formula 1, dogs, the Marvel universe, the sound felt-tips make on paper, rain and drawing on shoes. He also likes me.'

NICK: 'Things me and Charlie Spring do together include: Watch films. Sit in the same room on different laptops. Text each other from different rooms. Make out. Make food. Make drinks. Get drunk. Talk. Argue. Laugh. Maybe we're kind of boring. But that’s fine with us.'

Everyone knows that Nick and Charlie are the perfect couple – that they’re inseparable. But now Nick is leaving for university, and Charlie will be left behind at Sixth Form. Everyone’s asking if they’re staying together, which is a stupid question – they’re ‘Nick and Charlie’ for God’s sake!

But as the time to say goodbye gets inevitably closer, both Nick and Charlie question whether their love is strong enough to survive being apart. Or are they delaying the inevitable? Because everyone knows that first loves rarely last forever....

Nick and Charlie brought to life.

Brilliant. Alice Oseman at her typical best. Narrators' voices soothed me and I love how Nick sounds! Beautifully boyish yet not too much so. Accurate depiction of teenage life.

love

in the first 2 chapters why did the first Narrstor make the characters sound like middleaged pub landlords or construction workers? but the second Narrator that seemed to stick after them 2 carried the story beautifully even the strange but satisfying desicion to make Aled an Irish Farmer lol. if Nick and Charlie ever break up it will be a very dark day as them 2 weeks in the story alone felt more like 2 years. over all a lovely story but i do think i prefer the heartstopper series overall.

makes me wish I was back at school!!

Unbelievably wholesome. I cried, I smiled. The performance was perfect. Fabulous work, and a perfect addition to the series.

Great story from Alice, but cross-cast?

The story is the normal sublime narrative you’d expect from Alice Oseman. My only “however” is that as good as the two actors were I felt that their main characters were cross cast. That is the one playing Charlie would have been better suited as Nick and vice versa.

slayed omg I can't see through the tears

Perfection. So vulnerable, so honest, so true to itself to the core. Oseman's writing is that of the rare sort that you don't need complex structure or vocabulary you need to look up in secret. A delight.
