Reviews with content warning for Suicidal thoughts - Solitaire

This book was amazing. It took me awhile to read it from school and other life but I would 1000% read it again in a binge read. I relate and don’t to Tori. I resonated with a lot of things she said but in some ways didn’t. As a high schooler my self the setting and thoughts was very telling and relatable. This is an amazing book. I also read Catcher in the Rye this year and it says that it’s the ‘digital version’ in the information panel and so I was drawn as I had recently read that. Definitely love this one a lot more.

I really relate to Tori. I felt the same way in high school / college. I’m sad that her parents didn’t realize she needs help. I’m sad that she had to suffer alone. I’m glad she had one true friend that wanted to help even though she kept pushing him away.

This was a great book for what it was. It was difficult for me to read because my former self related so heavily to a lot of the dark thoughts and negative self image. (Not that I’m perfectly healthy now, but certainly not as bad as I used to be.) This book should definitely come with trigger warnings, but it is nice to read about someone else feeling similar things and somehow still getting through it.
