Solitaire by Alice Oseman

Solitaire by Alice Oseman

In Solitaire, Alice Oseman has brought to life a vivid, clever, and heartfelt portrayal of what it's like to be a teenager today. This stunning debut novel--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.

“The Catcher in the Rye for the digital age” The Times

‘A very authentic, teenage voice’ – Sunday Times

“Full of wit, cynicism, sarcasm and humour. This book is relatable yet original at the same time.” Goodreads review
