Solitaire book cover Solitaire by Alice Oseman reviewed by Timmy Baumgartner, grade 6, Whitefish Middle School.

This book is a work of young adult fiction it has a little bit of cus words so if you are not suitable for that I don’t request this book for you. Even though it’s very much fiction it is like real life it has no dragons or fairies or anything like that. It’s mainly about a girl there is also another book the author wrote called Heart Stopper there is also a tv show about it but anyways Solitaire is about just a girl’s life (kind of a love story) it’s also about a blog that pulls pranks against the schools that the girl and a boy named Michael also the girl’s name is Tori. They both try to find the person who is pulling it.

The story is mostly taken place at Tori’s house and school. (I’m pretty sure it is taken place also at the United Kingdom.) There are a lot more people than Tori and Michael for starters her little brother Oliver. I consider him my favorite character. He doesn’t appear a lot but there’s a reason I like him and it is because he is adorable. At first appearance, he makes something out of boxes another time he asks Tori to help him out on a game and I find that adorable!

My favorite part in the book is when Oliver gets introduced mostly because he is my favorite character and it is nice and cute. Of course, there are more parts I like, there’s one time when Oliver calls Tori about something wrong with Tori’s other brother Charlie during the call he was watching Doctor Who and Tori asked if he watched Weeping Angels but another thing it was sad VERY SAD.

Recommending: I recommend this to those over 12 and too who like drama or depressing books it doesn’t have a lot of depressing scenes if I had to rate I would rate it a solid 5 stars and maybe 6. Overall very good!
