Publisher's summary

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.

The festive season isn't always happy for Tori Spring and her brother Charlie. And this year's going to be harder than most.

I used to think that difficult was better than boring, but I know better now…

I’m not going to think about the past few months, about Charlie and me, and all of the sad. I’m going to block it all out Just for today.

"Happy Christmas, " I say.

Character development is impressive

In such a short story, the author manages to make the reader really understand what her characters need and want.

Sweet simple story of sibling love

Sweet, simple and lovingly crafted story of sibling love and support in facing challenges of holiday stress while coping with a teen eating disorder. Adds more depth to #Heartstopper characters in Charlie and Nick's families, bouncing narrative perspective from Tori, to Charlie, to younger brother Oliver, with excellent audiobook voicing for each.

I love this story

This is definitely a story not worth a full audible credit, because it’s much cheaper to just buy the audiobook from them. HOWEVER! I love this story. I have the book and I’ve read it over and over. But it’s kinda nice to have it read to you. Solid performances all around.

It’s nice to read a book without having to turn the light when going to bed. That’s mostly why I got this.

Great!

If you like the solitaire series, then this book is for you! It explains certain parts of the stories you missed, I love how oseman’s books all connect together making this one huge story line, even the ones not including the main characters (radio silence) you get hints of events and characters from different books, and you get to hear all the characters stories, and opinions really forming the characters. But if this is your first oseman book I would suggest reading Heartstopper and solitaire first, it would make a lot of sense.

All the stars for all the Heartstopper books!

I'd be really surprised if I ever rated a Heartstopper book less than 5*- they are the most precious books and deserve all the stars.
This was a quick little novella, giving us a glimpse into Charlie's mental health and how he's dealing with the holidays- and how his family is handling things now that he's back home. Things aren't great, but hopeful.
I liked that it was told from the pov of all 3 of the Spring siblings- Oliver is such a sweetie.


The narrators were great!
