What a wild ride. Watching Tori fall apart like that was shocking and something I wasn't really prepared to see in such intensity. Her relationship with Michael was tragic and also lovely, and so complicated. Overall, this story just blew my mind. It was like watching a car wreck, I couldn't look away and there was nothing anyone could do but let it happen.

Solitaire is a beautifully written, daringly honest book. It truly captures Tori as a character and gives a new, realistic view point of the series, their lives, and even the real life. It's very close to what real life is actually like, and I feel as though this book could teach many people many things. Alice Oseman never disappoints with her books
