Summary
The acclaimed debut novel from Alice Oseman, the author of the 2021 YA Book Prize winning Loveless. Solitaire features the characters that inspired the beloved webcomic and graphic novel series Heartstopper – now a major Netflix series.
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 A-Levels 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 are trying to do, and I don’t care about Michael Holden.
I really don’t.
This incredible debut novel by outstanding young author Alice Oseman is perfect for fans of John Green, Rainbow Rowell and all unflinchingly honest writers.
Critic reviews
"The most honest and authentic account of modern teenage life that you'll read this year…outstanding contemporary fiction with appeal to fans of John Green." (The Bookseller)

Really quite nice
Really good narrator and story is sweet whilst quite cliche. I think it was predictable and straightforward but the characters were so loveable and surprisingly complex.

Conflicted
firstly I feel it's important to clarify that I am an Alice Oseman fan, the book is amazing and I'm a total heartstopper comic fan, it's what drue me to the author in the first place, I suppose the reason for my confliction on this book is that... gosh it's hard to explain, this is a re write as originally I went on a long rant about the grandfather, but I feel whilst this caused me to rage like a loon it's also a show of the amazing writing that went in to the book to provoke such a strong response and that's just what this book feels like to me a contradiction of feelings and views. I'll stop there as I sun the risk of going on yet another rant, but I will say the voiceover actress was great, she fit my image of Tori perfectly.

Solitaire !!!
this is actually like the best thing i’ve ever read, definitely a new comfort book. Alice Oseman’s writing style is amazing and i don’t think i’ve ever understood a character as well as i understand Victoria Spring

It was great!
I really enjoyed the book and the person reading it fitted Tory perfectly! However I didn’t like how the words she was saying sometimes didn’t match the words in the book:(
