Nick and Charlie are the perfect young gay couple – they’re inseparable. But Nick is leaving for university, and Charlie will be left behind . This sweet short book asks the questions that everyone else is asking: are they’re staying together? Does absence makes the heart grow fonder?
With two great characters from her (hugely popular online) graphic novel Heartstopper and plenty of illustrations scattered throughout the book, author Oseman, explores the questions our protagonists ask themselves as the time to say goodbye gets inevitably closer. Tender and insecure, wondering whether their love is strong enough to survive being apart. Because everyone knows that first loves rarely last forever.
Osman’s book is a delight, exploring more of the lives of the Heartstoppers folk (the Solitaire series) in her fresh, cosy and tender explorations of teenage angsty love. Charming young person’s fiction.
