This Winter (A Solitaire novella)
This Winter (A Solitaire novella) | Alice Oseman
23 posts | 37 read | 10 to read
A short story, based on characters from Solitaire praised as The Catcher in the Rye for the digital age The Times I used to think that difficult was better than boring, but I know better now... Im not going to think about the past few months, about Charlie and me, and all of the sad. Im going to block it all out. Just for today."Happy Christmas, " I say. The festive season isn't always happy for Tori and her brother Charlie. And this year's going to be harder than most.

A quick little novella taking place on Christmas. You get Tori, Charlie, and Oliver‘s POV. I can‘t seem to get enough of these characters. And Nick, of course. ❤️

I didn‘t mean to read this next, but…. Well, I did it anyway and have no regrets. A thoughtful Christmas novella that highlights how the holiday can be difficult, but with the right people around you and with the right support- you can make it through. But hanging with a puppy doesn‘t hurt either! #wintergames #restinggrinchface

Happy to take every scrap of the Heartstopper universe I can get. Loved that Tori, Charlie, and Oliver all had perspectives! Short and satisfying. #yalit #yanovella #heartstopper

Short? It‘s under 100 pages! Yet still full of heart and a search for support during the first Christmas crazy holiday as a couple. Including beyond knowing about Charlie‘s mental health. I liked how the focus was on figuring out what to do calming down. No real high strung drama or fights. Arguments? Yes. But not full blood stuff; this family loves each other, even then. #lgbtq #mentalhealth

I honestly had planned to save this one for December...but yeah...we can all see how that turned out. Despite this one being a novella it was still a real and amazing little story. I'm a total fan of this author and how she handles such sensitive topics and still manages to make you smile.

I recently had the pleasure of reading “This Winter“ by Alice Osman, and I must say that it was a delightful little novella that warmed my heart despite its brevity. This winter-themed tale may be short, but it is undeniably cute and charming.

Prepping for March Wicked Words! I reckon I might start with a dive into the world of the Spring siblings, then follow up with Loveless for the Ace prompt. Oseman ahoy!

A novella set in the Heartstopper universe. Christmas day from several different perspectives, everyone wants the day to be normal but they don't know what that is or how to deal with the fact that it won't be the same. Very hopeful and uplifting book.

Continuing to satisfy my Heartstopper love with this novella which takes place at the same time as Volume 4. This one is bittersweet, but still lovely. 4⭐️

I loved falling back into the Heartstopper world! This novella takes place during Vol 4 of the graphic novels, on the Christmas after Charlie comes home from rehab. It's told from all three siblings' perspectives and deals with the emotional toll of the holidays. Everyone wants the day to be as normal as possible but no one seems to know exactly how. Supporting someone with a mental illness can be a struggle. ⤵️

peanutnine Despite the heavy topics, this was still a hopeful read. I enjoyed the little illustrations that were scattered throughout as well 3y

Content warnings for discussion of issues such as eating disorders, self-harm, and mental illness. In this novella, we get to see Christmas from the perspective of all three Spring siblings, Tori, Charlie, and Oliver. Nick also makes an appearance and is a wise and supportive boyfriend as usual, which is a nice counter to some deeply frustrating behavior from most of Charlie's family. I'll spend as much time in this universe as Oseman allows. 🎄

I haven‘t read the Solitaire novel, but that‘s a story told by Tori who is Charlie‘s older sister. And I know Charlie from the Heartstopper books.

In this novella we follow their family‘s Christmas celebration after some events that took place at the end of Heartstopper.

This novella comes with a trigger warning from the publisher/ author regarding mental illness including disordered eating and self harm.

#wondrouswednesday Only an hour late! @Eggs

1. Not much of a seasonal reader but I sometimes try to read books that fit holidays.

2. Food: Stews and chilis in the crockpot: beverage: hot chocolate

3. It was downright cold! In the 50s and soggy

I don't think I have seasonal tastes of books.

Chili beans and broccoli soup with fried peppers and onions.

This has been the wettest and warmest winter. Rainy and 50s.
