The main character is Tori, Charlie's sister. Tori is struggling at the moment, then enter Solitaire, a blog where the creator plays pranks all over the school. Then enter Michael Holden who is definitely a lot more than he seems.
At the start, I wasn't a fan but as time went on, I got more hooked, turning the pages faster than ever.
I absolutely loved our main Character, Tori is an amazing protagonist and I can relate to her with some of the things she went through. Charlie and Nick make some appearances and as usual, they are great, Charlie is a cinnamon roll I swear!
I hated Ben, what a surprise considering I hated him in [b:Heartstopper: Volume One|40495957|Heartstopper Volume One (Heartstopper, #1)|Alice Oseman|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1541887843l/40495957._SY75_.jpg|62811229]
Lucas was alright, I did have some suspicions about him throughout the book.
The writing was odd, I think a good way to describe it was that it sounded unsure and awkward at times, but taking into account that this was a debut novel written by an 18 year old, I think we should be surprised that the writing only had that issue.
The book covers a lot of topics our generation deals with, partners, LGTBQ+, Mental Health issues and I think it portrays these well and they don't misrepresent or are disrespectful about it.
Overall, a book with a great protagonist and an interesting plotline.
