This book has so much going for it: the mystery of solitaire, Tori’s declining mental health and mental state, true teenage life and feelings, the small bit of romance in it. I did lose my way with certain aspects of the book, I don’t know if it was the sudden tone changes or the horrific pranks but either way it also made me feel like I was in tori’s shoes in those situations because you felt just as confused as she did. 
There was quite an emotional part to the story with the Concert scene if you haven’t read it I won’t spoil it but it did make me sit and think for a while about attacks like that at concerts in real life and how lucky everybody in the book actually got. 
It is a good book and a very enjoyable read would definitely recommend.
