Summary

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.

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.

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.

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:(
