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

Alice's books always leave me in awe. i think about them for days. they have big impact. she just perfectly describes teenage life and problems. even the serious topics are discussed in a way that helps me feel safe.

i think the characters are made to be relatable and there's not just good or bad, characters show internal conflicts, and they aren't perfect.

This is the second book this year I lisen to and I find it hard to understand and keep up with it sadly. So, what I remember is good, I like how the story revolves around a "boring" girl and that her brother is more "special".

I like the friendship she get and how it's not really perfect, because she's scared and self conscious. But, I would have liket it more if it would have staid thet way instead of it going like it did, i didn't really like the end. It were a bit to cliche  but still sweet.

Lastly I really like the reader, the voice is amazing for Tori!
