Solitaire

This is not a love story.

Searingly honest, self-deprecating and utterly compelling – this is the story of Tori Spring.

My name is Victoria Spring. I think you should know that I make up a lot of stuff in my head and then get sad about it. I like to sleep and I like to blog. I am going to die someday.

I think you should also know that I have not always been like this. 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.

This incredible debut novel by outstanding young author Alice Oseman is perfect for fans of John Green, Perks of Being a Wallflower, and all unflinchingly honest writers.

Solitaire was published by HarperCollins in July 2014.
