Nick and Charlie
📘 About This Book
Nick und Charlie sind das perfekte Paar. Aber Nick wird bald zum Studium in eine andere Stadt ziehen, und Charlie muss noch irgendwie sein letztes Schuljahr hinter sich bringen. Alle wollen von ihnen wissen, ob sie zusammen bleiben werden - eine dämliche Frage, finden beide, sie sind Nick-und-Charlie! Doch als der Abschied näher rückt, fragen sie sich tatsächlich, ob ihre Liebe stark genug für eine Fernbeziehung ist. Oder machen sie sich nur etwas vor? Schließlich weiß doch jeder, dass die erste Liebe nicht für die Ewigkeit ist ... Die eNovella über Nick und Charlie setzt kurz nach ›Solitaire‹ ein.
📖 Summary
Nick and Charlie are widely known among their friends and peers as the ultimate, unbreakable couple. For a long time, their relationship has felt like a fixed point in an otherwise chaotic world, weathering past struggles and emerging stronger on the other side. However, the comforting rhythm of their daily routine is about to face its most difficult test yet. Nick is preparing to pack up his life and leave for university in another city, opening a vast physical distance between them. Meanwhile, Charlie still has to endure and navigate his final, stressful year of high school without his anchor by his side. Everyone around them seems to have an opinion, constantly asking the inevitable and anxiety-inducing question of whether the two boys will actually stay together. At first, Nick and Charlie brush these inquiries off as foolish and unnecessary, firmly believing in the unshakable bond of being Nick and Charlie. Yet, as the final days before the departure tick away, a quiet dread begins to creep in. Reality sets in, forcing them to confront the daunting logistics of a long-distance relationship. Doubts that were once easily dismissed start to take root in their minds. They are forced to ask themselves whether their intense love is truly strong enough to survive the miles, the changes, and the passage of time, or if they are simply blinding themselves to harsh realities. After all, conventional wisdom always whispers that first loves rarely last forever, leaving both boys to wonder if their story is reaching a natural ending or merely taking a terrifying new step. Set shortly after the events of Solitaire, this poignant eNovella captures a tender, vulnerable snapshot of youth, transition, and the bittersweet nature of growing up.
