Solitaire by Alice Oseman

dark emotional mysterious reflective sad fast-paced

This was good, but not exactly what I was expecting. It was dark, Alice Oseman does another excellent (and concerning) inner monologue of the narrator. Some of the Solitaire stuff was a little hard to believe. Very different from how I think of the Heartstopper universe- idk if the webcomic goes into/past this but it’d be very interesting if the show actually went into this one day

why is it whenever i read a alice oseman novel i end up liking it more than heartstopper??
i loved tori spring in heartstopper, and this book made me love her more. she’s so relatable, and a total asexual icon

Dit las heerlijk vlot weg! Het hielp vast ook dit tijdens een lange treinreis te lezen haha! Vond het verhaal wel oké, was wel benieuwd hoe het nou zat. Ik wist vantevoren niet goed wat ik precies van dit boek moest verwachten, maar het was gewoon wel oké. Het plot vond ik niet het sterkste ooit, de Heartstopper serie is inderdaad meer fluff, maar Alice schrijft wel heel mooi echte mensen, dus dat waardeer ik wel.
