A CHILDREN’S TOP 10 BESTSELLER (TCM) The debut novel from Alice Oseman, author of the 2021 YA Book Prize winning Loveless.

Solitaire features the characters that inspired the beloved series Heartstopper – now a major Netflix series. “The Catcher in the Rye for the digital age” The Times 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 A-Levels 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 are trying to do, and I don’t care about Michael Holden. I really don’t. This incredible debut novel by outstanding young author Alice Oseman is perfect for fans of John Green, Rainbow Rowell and all unflinchingly honest writers.
