About the Book

From the critically acclaimed creator of the Heartstopper series comes a vivid, clever, and heartfelt portrayal of what it's like to be a teenager today. Alice Oseman's stunning debut novel Solitaire--which the Times (London) called "The Catcher in the Rye for the digital age"--is perfect for fans of Melina Marchetta, Stephen Chbosky, and Rainbow Rowell. My name is Tori Spring. I like to sleep and I like to blog. Last year--before all that stuff with Charlie and before I had to face the harsh realities of exams and university applications and the fact that one day I really will have to start talking to people--I had friends. Things were very different, I guess, but that's all over now. Now there's Solitaire. And Michael Holden. I don't know what Solitaire is trying to do, and I don't care about Michael Holden. I really don't.

About the Author :

Alice can usually be found staring aimlessly at computer screens, questioning the meaninglessness of existence, or doing anything and everything to avoid getting an office job.

Review :
"Catcher in the Rye for the digital age." -- "Times (London)" "Narrator Jayne Entwistle does a fantastic job conveying the drama. In her British accent, Entwistle keeps to a slow, even pace that reflects Tori's disinterest in life, though at times a bit of excitement breaks through. As the story takes on many YA issues--including depression, eating disorders, and OCD, Entwistle's subdued tone lends weight to these moments." -- "AudioFile" "Oseman proves herself a clever, witty writer, and she effectively shows how angry or sad 'nice' teens can be, as well as how the Internet has infiltrated pretty much every aspect of life. Her sophomore effort will be worth watching for." -- "Publishers Weekly" "Oseman's debut could put her among the great young adult fiction authors. Solitaire is a pleasure to read; Tori's voice is incredibly relatable." -- "VOYA" "The most honest and authentic account of modern teenage life that you'll read this year...outstanding contemporary fiction." -- "Bookseller" "Told in the first person, Tori's wry voice and dark humor provide a counterpoint to her descent into depression. Nineteen-year-old author, Oseman, opens a frightening window onto life as a teen in today's world...A fascinating debut from an author to watch." -- "School Library Journal" "Tori's voice makes this story into a poignant yet blackly funny and even lively emotional journey. A deeply absorbing read." -- "Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books"
