El personaje de Tori ya me parecía relatable y muy interesante desde que leí Heartstopper. Aquí tenemos una narradora oscura y con mucho sarcasmo y humor negro al estilo de Daria. Entiendo si hay personas a las que les disgustó o les desagradó su personaje, pero a mi me parece brillante.
Michael es todo lo que está bien, empieza siendo un chico torpe y completamente opuesto a Tori, pero esconde mucho más de lo que aparenta,
Todo el misterio sobre Solitario fue INCREÍBLE. La resolución quizás no estuvo tan épica, pero no creo que fuera eso a lo que Alice quería llegar. Es un gran misterio que como audiencia tenemos que resolver y aunque Tori no se quiera involucrar, termina estándolo más de lo que debería.
El final me hizo llorar mares de lo tan representada que me sentí. Es inexplicable el amor y el odio (por hacerme sufrir) que tengo por este libro. LEÁNLO.

Trying too hard at this point is a waste of energy that might otherwise be spent on lovely things such as sleeping and eating and illegally downloading music.
Alice Oseman’s Solitaire is an utterly poignant, relatable, and intriguing contemporary fiction novel. Like many of you, I read Heartstopper first and loved it. This is different in that it is much more serious and tense, but still heartwarming and a well done coming-of-age story.
It features Tori Spring — Heartstopper Charlie Spring’s older sister — and her battle with mental health as she goes about her daily life/investigates a weird school group called Solitaire. Her perspective is hilarious and depressing at the same time, which I feel is fitting for her personality. She is deeply relatable, too, despite my more romantic outlook on life. Mental illness was represented very well here, both with Tori and Charlie. I absolutely loved reading about her struggles and her connection with her brother Charlie. I also like Micheal Holden who is an intriguing and loveable character. He was important to the story but not to the point where it revolved around him, which was refreshing. Tori’s character growth is amazing in this.
Honestly, I have no criticism. I can’t wait to read the rest of the Osemanverse books!

I sadly didn't like Tori, our main character, at all. I liked her in Heartstoppers, but in this one she just bums me out. No matter how much I tried, and I did try, I couldn't connect with her negativity or her personality. Other characters felt a bit two-dimensional, but I did hope for Tori and Michael to end up together. If something, those two were fun together.
I didn't connect enough with the book to actually be in the edge of my seat to find out what happens with solitare who or what is behind it.
