Alice Oseman
From the critically acclaimed creator of the Heartstopper series comes a vivid, clever, and heartfelt portrayal of what it's like to be a teenager today. Alice Oseman’s stunning debut novel Solitaire—which the Times (London) called "The Catcher in the Rye for the digital age"—is perfect for fans of Melina Marchetta, Stephen Chbosky, and Rainbow Rowell.My name is Tori Spring. I like to sleep and I like to blog. Last year—before all that stuff with Charlie and before I had to face the harsh realities of exams and university applications and the fact that one day I really will have to start talking to people—I had friends. Things were very different, I guess, but that's all over now.Now there's Solitaire. And Michael Holden. I don't know what Solitaire is trying to do, and I don't care about Michael Holden. I really don't.

"Love the representation in this book. Mental health can look different for everyone, and it was so interesting to get a look into Tori’s mindset. Pessimistic and self-loathing, Tori is a truly interesting case. Sometimes, depression can be hard to recognize, and this book shows that. Not everything can be explained through words. Sometimes we just feel things. I love Tori’s growth and development within the story and how she learned to overcome herself. Inspiring, witty, and comedic. I loved this"

"Alice Oseman just never fails when writing about mental health. I almost cried when reading a lot of this. Tori is just so amazing and real. Admittedly though, it was pretty obvious who Solitaire was from the start and what their motivation was. Still a really good read tho."

"This book is a masterpiece to say the least ! It’s an incredible read and the main character tori is an extremely well written and a very relatable character . She truly embodies what it means to not only be a teenager but also what it means to live with depression/mental illness . If your looking for a good book I would highly recommend solitaire!!! "

"DNF’d about a third or halfway through, I don’t remember. I didn’t want to do it because I consider myself a fan of Heartstopper, but I couldn’t really get into the story with how uncaring and dull Tori’s POV voice is. This might mean missing out on some context or details in the HS universe, but at this rate I don’t really care."
