About the Book

Solitaire is the acclaimed debut novel from Alice Oseman, the bestselling creator of the global phenomenon Heartstopper. Tori Spring likes to sleep and blog, and not much else. Numb, sharp-tongued, and determined to stay invisible, she's drifting through sixth form in the aftermath of a difficult year involving her younger brother, Charlie — a familiar name to Heartstopper fans, who first appeared in these pages. Then a mysterious online group known as Solitaire begins staging escalating pranks across her school, and an eccentric, unpredictable new boy named Michael Holden pulls Tori into its orbit whether she wants him to or not.

As Tori and Michael try to uncover who's really behind Solitaire, the novel spirals into something far more intense than a typical school mystery, confronting isolation, identity, and the quiet devastation of adolescent depression with startling honesty. Often described as a "Catcher in the Rye for the digital age," Solitaire captures the anxieties of growing up online with a voice that feels immediate, unfiltered, and entirely its own — the novel that first introduced the world to the characters who would later become Heartstopper.
