Publisher's 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....

A nice insight to an older Nick and Charlie

First of all Alice, how dare you play with my heart like that.

Second of all, this was an exciting read! The story took me through an emotional roller coaster almost similar to when I first read Heartstopper. The change in tone when each character spoke was a nice touch. I would highly recommend this to many of my friends.

What the fans wanted.

If you’re familiar with Nick and Charlie, then you will love this. It will provide you with some comfort and ease while we wait for the fourth installment of the graphic novel.

I love this story

I forgot how sad I gets but it’s so good! I mostly got it because I wanted to listen to the book I’ve read over and over while I draw. I love this story so much. And I think my boyfriend is tired of me asking him to read it to me. So audiobook was a good call.

This is one of if not the best book I’ve ever read I 100% recommend it if you like cute kinda sappy teen romances Alice Oseman has a way with words that just pulls you in and surrounds you in the story it’s honestly just amazing
