This Winter Synopsis
With special bonus content – a “Twelve Days of Nick and Charlie” holiday sequence of illustrations by Alice Oseman
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.
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.

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.

'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.
