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…

“The Catcher in the Rye for the digital age” The Times

“The most honest and authentic account of modern teenage life that you’ll read this year… outstanding contemporary fiction with appeal to fans of John Green.” The Bookseller

‘A very authentic, teenage voice’ – Sunday Times

‘Solitaire is an extraordinary novel … [Oseman] has captured her characters’ rage, humour and insecurity with aplomb.’ The Financial Times

‘Oseman proves herself a clever, witty writer’ Publishers Weekly

“Full of wit, cynicism, sarcasm and humour. This book is relatable yet original at the same time.” Goodreads review

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.

Loved it

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 August 2019

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.

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

Verified Purchase

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.

A sweet story of love at any age

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 22 July 2015

Verified Purchase

I was going to say that this story by talented YA writer Alice Oseman gives a great emotional insight into first love. But actually this lovely novella about two teenagers who have been together for a couple of years, but who are now facing separation as one of them heads off to Uni, shows great insight into love at any age. Speaking as someone on the wrong side of 40, what really resonated with me was Ms Oseman's insight into human emotions, the tensions present in most relationships and how damn easy it is to mess it up if you don't say what you really feel. Well done Alice Oseman. Adults could learn a lot from this book!
