Set in Alice Oseman's Solitaire and Heartstopper universe, following the Spring siblings-Tori, Charlie, and Oliver-through a difficult holiday season. Told in three interconnected perspectives, the story explores the emotional aftermath of Charlie's eating disorder and the strain it places on the family as they try to navigate Christmas together. With honesty and compassion, Oseman portrays anxiety, recovery, and quiet ways people try to support one another even when they're hurting themselves. Though short, the novella offers an intimate look at the Spring family's struggles and the small moments of warmth, humor, and connection that help them move forward. A tender, winter-set companion to the main series, This Winter deepens the characters readers already love and highlights the importance of patience, understanding, and healing.
