A short novella based on the beloved characters from Alice Oseman’s acclaimed debut novel Solitaire and graphic novel series Heartstopper – soon to be 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…

I am obsessed with Nick and Charlie 😍

Reviewed in India on 7 April 2020

[(Yes, rating it full stars while I am at 60 percent of the book because I know it's going to be that and ...well, I had to take a break from all that crying for every stupid sad and happy thing these kids have been doing.) Will edit the review as soon as I am done with the book.]

All the feels! Nick and Charlie! You two are so cute. Never ever think of anything else other than being together, okay? Do you two hear me shouting this with all the tears on my face and my nose all blocked that I sound like a dying record?
Of course, you two cannot hear me.

Ok. Trying to be act mature and write a readable review, here I go:

I would recommend this book to anyone and everyone especially to those like me who has been following The Heartstoppers comic series. And I would recommend you to read this before reading the next volume of the comic series, the Volume 4.

In this book, Nick is all set to go to a new University while Charlie has to stay behind for a year to complete school. The main issues that the couple has to deal with is the topic of far distance relationship and if they're actually going to go through a break-up.

Yes, it broke my heart. And I kept crying for everything. If Nick says Hi, I cry. If Charlie nods, I cry. Then tell me what am I supposed to do when they are so cute together or stay apart from each other due to a misunderstanding or when they actually has a fight or when they're not talking to each other for days or when they actually get back together? Of course, I cried!

And I cried again because the book ended too fast. Like why? This book isn't even a prologue long compared to some other books. Yes, I cried for that too. These kids in love make me a mess.
All. The. Time.

Yes, there's nothing like acting mature and writing a proper review.

Is there anything called the reader got sick because of reading something too cute?

Because I am having a meltdown.

### I shout: UNDERRATED!

This is one of those YA LGBTQ books which is just perfect for any kind of reader because it's just written well and short.

Nick and Charlie 4🌟
Okay I can't wait to read Heartstopper because Nick and Charlie are the most precious characters ever written! It's Nick's last year at the school and soon he will leave for the university. Charlie finds it hard to imagine school without Nick and is feeling left out. Moreover the idea of long distance relationship brings out so many doubts. Again, a quick read that gives you a good Nick and Charlie fill if you missed that in Solitaire!

Nick and Charlie ❤️

Reviewed in India on 1 July 2021

I just loved loved loved nick and Charlie. This book is set two years apart from heartstopper where nick is leaving for University and Charlie have to manage in school all without him. The thing I like about this book is it made Charlie and nick more real for me. I felt like I was their friend. I was sitting next to them always, in all their moments. It showed that even perfect nick and Charlie are not flawless and every relationship has their own ups and downs

Loved it

This was honestly the sweetest thing that i have ever read, Charlie with his insecurities about nick leaving for university and Nick with his insecurities about ever leaving Charlie.

So many authors like to show only the sweetness about a couple but i love how Alice Oseman has decided to show that relationships are not all rainbows and roses, that there are arguments, insecurities and sometimes tears. And only the strongest of relationships can overcome this. Five stars, absolutely loved it.

Nick + Charlie = SÓ AMOR

Reviewed in Brazil on 11 March 2021

Sim, como os jovens dizem hoje em dia, sou extremamente cadelinha de Alice Oseman. Conheci a autora através de seu trabalho com as HQ's de Heartstopper, e desde então os personagens Nick and Charlie tomaram de assalto o meu coração e os acompanho religiosamente a cada novo volume. Mesmo assim, nunca li nenhuma história dela narrada de forma 'tradicional' (eu sei que o termo correto é "prosa") , e para esta experiência eu não poderia ter escolhido outro livro além de "Nick and Charlie" - a novela que se passa depois de seu romance de estreia, Um Ano Solitário, e alguns anos depois dos acontecimentos que foram explorados até o momento na série em quadrinhos.

Reencontrar estes dois no último ano do Ensino Médio foi divertido, e diferente e me revelou facetas de ambos que de fato não conhecia. Todo o plot da novela se dá justamente pelo fato de Nick estar se formando e Charlie continuará por mais um ano na escola, então eu já sabia que a Alice nos levaria para o conflito com relação ao distanciamento e como cada um estava lidando com isto (o que me rendeu meu primeiro "desentendimento" com o personagem do Nick, que em uma certa parte achei meio intransigente - mas logo me lembrei que, ok, ambos são adolescentes, então não importa muito quem está "certo" ou "errado", só o que estão sentindo. Mas o importante é que no fim perdoei ele.).

Peguei alguns spoilers de Um Ano Solitário e do que ainda vai acontecer em Heartstopper? Provavelmente. Mas eu já fui ler preparado para isto, então sinceramente não me arrependo. A escrita, mesmo em inglês, foi super fluída - e nem vi as páginas passando. Dividido em seis partes, com capítulos narrados tanto por Charlie quanto por Nick, ainda fui presenteado por ilustrações inéditas da autora, que dão um recheio todo especial para o livro e nos fazem conectar imediatamente aos personagens dos quadrinhos.

Enfim, nem preciso dizer que AMEI (em caixa alta, mesmo) esta leitura, não é mesmo? Foi fofo e divertido e especial (e também dramático) como só estes personagens da Alice Oseman pode ser, e eu me deletei em cada página exatamente por isto.

brilliant short story of Charlie & Nick

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 August 2020

Verified Purchase

I pre-ordered this one. If you've read and enjoyed all the Heartstopper graphic novels this one is for you. Same Characters who I love so much Nick and Charlie. This is a short story at just under 200 pages, so easy reading. The odd beautiful illustrations within too. Devoured within an hour.

A short story about Nick heading off to university and what will happen between him and Charlie. Quite a sad sorry for part of it as Charlie believes they won't be able to go long distance and starts to act out about it in the wrong way. But we know these guys right. Absolutely love them both and this short story is keeping me going till Heartstopper Vol 4 is out.

A well deserved four stars from me. Highly recommend.

I loved Solitaire when I picked it up in July and ...

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 25 June 2016

I loved Solitaire when I picked it up in July and when I heard about this novella, I knew I would have to read it. I loved the little snippets we got of Nick and Charlie’s relationship throughout Solitaire, so it was exciting to think about them getting their own story.

The novella follows the boys’ relationship as Nick is set to start university – which means moving away and a long-distance relationship. Charlie is happy to see Nick pursing his dreams, but is dreading the moment he’ll leave and Charlie will be left alone for the first time in two years. After spending every day together for so long, Charlie’s not sure he’ll be able to cope.

I loved this further insight into their relationship and I also liked that the story showed how one little thing, taken out of context and blown out of proportion, can so easily knock what seemed to be a rock-solid relationship off kilter. Charlie really struggles with the idea of Nick going to university and leaving him behind, he’s not sure if they’ll be able to make a long-distance work, and he begins to resent Nick.

The way that they both handled the relationship was frustrating to the reader because we know both sides and we can clearly see how much they love each other and I was really rooting for them to work it out and remain solid.

I really enjoyed watching the ups and downs of their relationship as the story progressed. Yes, it was frustrating at times, but it was also genuinely sweet and adorable.

The only downside was that I found the ending to be quite abrupt. I hadn’t expected it to end quite so suddenly and I was left a bit bewildered for a moment when I finished. Still, I highly recommend for fans of love stories and especially for people who enjoyed reading Solitaire and liked Nick and Charlie especially.

Aww they're growing up and oh no Nick is leaving. Having read Heartstopper which I loved, I've been waiting for scenes like this, knowing at some point it had to happen. Although I prefer the full graphics of the heartstopper series this was a welcome addition. It's still just as cute and oh Charlie's actions at the end are just perfect.
