Nick and Charlie

Alice Oseman

Review:

I love this book. I especially like that their relationship faced some struggles, but they got through it and are better for it. It makes me really happy that they are still together. The characters are so real, even in book form, that it makes it hard for me not to think that I will meet them someday. I should be able to meet them someday! It’s really sad that I can’t. I am so excited for the new season, and this book made me love the characters even more.

Trigger Warnings:
Alcohol use (underage), Anxiety, Depression, OCD, Self-harm (past)

Synopsis From Book:

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…
