I don’t think there is ever going to be a book I dislike from Alice Oseman.  This book was fantastic.  Tori Spring has always been a favorite character of mine and her book was amazing.

This book dealt with a lot of heavy topics but it was written so nicely.  Tori dealing with undiagnosed depression, her complicated relationship with her mother, her brother’s mental health, the odd age of figuring life out only to find she doesn’t care about anything.

The asexual rep in this was lovely and I liked how the relationship with Tori and Michael was written.  This whole book was just so lovely in a hurt/comfort way.

Spice Level: n/a

Release Date: 02, May 2023

POV: First Person

Rep: Asexual (MC), Pansexual (SC), Gay (SC), Bisexual (SC), LGBTQIA+ characters, Depression

Esperé tanto para leer a Tori y ya lo hice. Me tardé en escribir esta review, pero es que me hirió tanto este libro, ouch.

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.
