SynopsisFrom the mega-bestselling creator of Heartstopper , a must-have novella in which Heartstopper's lead characters, Nick and Charlie, face one of their biggest challenges yet. Absence makes the heart grow fonder... right? Everyone knows that Nick and Charlie love their nearly inseparable life together. But soon Nick will be leaving for university, and Charlie, a year younger, will be left behind. Everyone's asking if they're staying together, which is a stupid question... or at least that's what Nick and Charlie assume at first. As the time to say goodbye gets inevitably closer, both Nick and Charlie start to question whether their love is strong enough to survive being apart. Charlie is sure he's holding Nick back... and Nick can't tell what Charlie's thinking. Things spiral from there. Everyone knows that first loves rarely last forever. What will it take for Nick and Charlie to defy the odds?
Two rather purposeless characters looking for relief from suffering neither particularly has. I saw no life goals nor challenges much beyond struggles with what to eat or listen to. The reviews are much better than the so-so content. Maybe the English school system muddles things for me, but I don't think that explains the overall weak characters. On the other hand, a brilliant job of going with the sex-gender flow except, sadly, for not being non-binary multi racial. A sad loss for emotive readers hungering for justification.
