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. The festive season isn’t always happy for Tori Spring and her brother Charlie.

And this year’s going to be harder than most. I used to think that difficult was better than boring, but I know better now… I’m not going to think about the past few months, about Charlie and me, and all of the sad.

I’m going to block it all out Just for today. “Happy Christmas, ” I say.
