Solitaire by Alice Oseman
4.5
dark emotional mysterious reflective sad medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

I love how the book puts you in the headspace of its main character. I've been a fan of Heartstopper before but this book made me love Tori as a character so, so much more (and Michael Holden now too). Reading this felt like a very authentic exploration of depressive thoughts, loneliness, and friendship among other things.
