Some detest, while others claim it to be their favourite book. This is a story about the ugly truth of what loneliness and despair can do to a person and how far a person is willing to go to be accepted for who they are.Ī lot grimmer than the Heartstopper series, Solitaire contains graphic descriptions of mental illnesses, eating disorders, and self-harm that can trigger people dealing with these issues themselves. Alice Oseman's debut novel, Solitaire, follows the story of Victoria (Tori) Spring, the elder sister of Charlie from Heartstopper, as she deals with her mental health, the building pressure from school and family, and society's pressure to get out of her comfort zone-all while dealing with the local eponymous prankster group.
