A CHILDREN’S TOP 10 BESTSELLER (TCM)

The debut novel from Alice Oseman, author of the 2021 YA Book Prize winning Loveless. Solitaire features the characters that inspired the beloved series Heartstopper – now a major Netflix series. Heartstopper Season 2, coming soon

“The Catcher in the Rye for the digital age” The Times

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.

I wish I could hear it for the first time again. I especially love the ending.

I love it

It's a complex story about teenagers and how difficult it is. It deals with mental health issues and how nothing is black and white. It is about feeling so alone in the world, so lost and being unaware of your future before you. It is about the complexity of friendship and how, in the end, we really are all in this together, and we're all struggling within our own worlds. Tori is such a beautiful character. I love her many layers and how she's depicted throughout the book. I also have the physical copy, so I listened to some and read some. All in all one of my favourite books.

Incredible

Honestly quite relatable and really long so I could listen for weeks (not over reacting)

Good book!

Such a nostalgic book for me, maybe not the best in the world but lovely to re listen to it.

What did you like best about Solitaire? What did you like least?

I like the realism and the bitter honesty of the protagonist. Tori is one of those characters whom you either love or hate. She isn't a happy character. She spends time ranting and seeing no point in everything and in the world around her. She doesn't even like her friends or the school she goes to. She's very cynical and pessimistic about life. Although she may seem like an unlikeable character, I felt that her voice rings a familiar bell with many teenagers and young adults. I myself felt like I can relate to her thoughts and pessimism about the world. Reading/listening about her reminded me of my own time in secondary school - and this was something that I liked about this book.

The book may seem draggy at times in pacing as whole chapters go past with hardly anything happening or have anything significant to take note. Despite that, I didn't mind this feature at all. I felt that the pace captures what real life is like, being slow and uneventful. Although there is something of a plot in this book - the mystery of this Solitaire blog - it doesn't take central stage.

The cast of characters were interesting at most. I find Michael Holden quirky and likeable, and enjoyed his and Tori's interactions very much. I think their friendship is one of the highlights of this book.

If you’ve listened to books by Alice Oseman before, how does this one compare?

This is the first book I've read/listened from this author.

Have you listened to any of Holly Gibbs’s other performances? How does this one compare?

Again, this is the first time I've listened to this narrator. She did a pretty good narration capturing the bitterness and frustration in Tori's voice. The narrator doesn't distinguish her voice for different characters though, so it is more like she is reading the book aloud rather than performing it. However, I don't have much of an issue with that.

Different. More realistic. Not bad.
