I read this earlier than I had expected to when I learned that season three of Heartstopper had adapted the storyline from it. It’s a short read - I read all of it while on break at work - but a nice edition to the Heartstopper storyline. It made me appreciate Tori’s character a lot more, especially her anxieties about not being good enough as an older sister. It made me want to pick up Solitaire. While clearly written for a younger audience, I still enjoyed it.
Graphic: Eating disorder, Self harm
Moderate: Biphobia, Cursing, Homophobia, Alcohol
