Nick and Charlie face the distance ahead

As Nick prepares to leave for university and Charlie remains a year behind, their relationship faces a change neither has yet had to navigate. The novella centers on the uncertainty of being apart: Charlie worries he may be holding Nick back, while Nick struggles to understand what Charlie is thinking. Their questions about whether first love can endure a new stage of life give the romance its central tension, with the impending goodbye pressing both characters to reconsider what staying together will mean.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in young adult LGBTQ+ romance.
  • Those looking for a relationship story about distance and a transition to university.
  • Readers familiar with Nick and Charlie from Heartstopper.

Book overview

From the mega-bestselling creator of Heartstopper, a must-have novella in which Heartstopper's lead characters, Nick and Charlie, face one of their biggest challenges yet.

 

Absence makes the heart grow fonder... right?

Everyone knows that Nick and Charlie love their nearly inseparable life together. But soon Nick will be leaving for university, and Charlie, a year younger, will be left behind. Everyone's asking if they're staying together, which is a stupid question... or at least that's what Nick and Charlie assume at first.

As the time to say goodbye gets inevitably closer, both Nick and Charlie start to question whether their love is strong enough to survive being apart. Charlie is sure he's holding Nick back... and Nick can't tell what Charlie's thinking.

Things spiral from there.

Everyone knows that first loves rarely last forever. What will it take for Nick and Charlie to defy the odds?
