About this audiobook
A No. 1 AUDIBLE BESTSELLER
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…

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Such a sweet short story that adds a lot to the comics. The use of two voice actors for Nick and Charlie was a great idea as it's much easier to keep track of whose perspective you're listening to! Like all of Alice Oseman's books I'll definitely be listening/reading it again.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5In this house, we protect Nick and Charlie at all costs. Nick and Charlie forever.I'll never get enough of their content. This is a glimpse into their future as they struggle with Nick going to uni and Char feeling left behind.They are everything! I love them.
"I have been going out with Nick Nelson since I was fourteen. He likes rugby and Formula 1, animals (especially dogs), the Marvel universe, the sound felt-tips make on paper, rain, drawing on shoes, Disneyland and minimalism. He also likes me."

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5*swoon* Alice Oseman has become one of my all time favorite authors. I discovered Heartstopper on Netflix while binge watching Young Royals and it was the sweetest discovery. I love Nick and Charlie. And I love the real world aspects that come along with their characters. It’s nice to see an author address issues like mental health and prejudice. I also love the vulnerability these two express. It’s a very real yet adorable series. I hope to see many more seasons on Netflix and I’m excited for new comics to be published!
