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 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. Now there’s Solitaire. And Michael Holden. I don’t know what Solitaire are trying to do, and I don’t care about Michael Holden. I really don’t.
Reader Buzz ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ Goodreads (3.9/5 from 142,000+ ratings) — "Relatable, raw, and unflinchingly honest about teenage depression and friendship." / "The pacing drags and the plot feels uneven, but the emotional core is strong."
Popular with readers who love Heartstopper and want to explore darker, more introspective Oseman content. Trending among book lovers for its mental health representation, grumpy/sunshine friendship dynamic, and the bittersweet line: "Patience kills."
Recommendations Perfect for fans of Radio Silence or Loveless (Alice Oseman), Fangirl (Rainbow Rowell), or Looking for Alaska (John Green). Essential reading for Heartstopper fans exploring the wider Oseman universe.
