The very first book from the creator of the million-copy bestselling Heartstopper books wins fans as “The Catcher in the Rye for the digital age.” Solitaire features the characters that inspired the beloved webcomic and graphic novel series Heartstopper—now a major Netflix series.

In case you’re wondering, this is not a love story.

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.
