MY REVIEW:
I’ve decided to make my way through Oseman’s books in the order that plot events take place chronologically – she very helpfully has the timeline on her website. So This Winter takes place partway through Heartstopper Volume Four. It’s just a quick peek at Christmas from Tori, Charlie, and Oliver’s perspectives after Charlie has spent a few weeks as an inpatient to treat his eating disorder.
Charlie and I have discussed at length how it's possible for Oliver to be related to us, since he's the literal embodiment of joy and we're both miserable fucks. We concluded that he must have got all the happy genes.
It’s the first time we’ve had any input from Tori, past a few comments from the sidelines, and it’s nice to see this world expand a little further. Of course, I’m still obsessed with Nick and Charlie’s relationship, but getting an outside perspective is a nice change. I’m not going to lie, though; the best part of This Winter is Oliver’s (very short) portion at the end because he has the best view of everything going on.
First Charlie disappeared, and then Tori disappeared, and I’m starting to wonder whether I’m next.
While it’s short, This Winter is the first non-graphic novel from Oseman that I’ve read, and I think it’s a nice introduction to what may be next in Solitaire. I know these books are geared toward a younger audience, but there are universal themes present, and honestly, I’d probably read anything to get a little more Nick and Charlie in my life!
