This is the first book I have read from Alice Oseman. I have heard rave reviews about the "Heartstopper" series, but her first book in the "Solitaire" series is a bit underwhelming.

I would have loved the book better if the Solitaire aspect is completely omitted. It would be nice to understand the characters and relationships solely. The ending was confusing. But there are some standout moments and characters (Michael, Nick, Charlie). It is nice to see how the main character has evolved through the book.
