After reading Heartstopper, I’m trying to get into Alice Oseman’s other books. But this one just didn’t hit as well. I think it was her very first novel that she wrote at like ~18, so it’s pretty impressive for that.
I liked Tori, I found her very relatable. The mystery of Solitaire was interesting as well, and it made me happy to see her relationship develop with Michael. A pretty quick read, and worth it if you like Oseman’s other books.
