Solitaire by Alice Oseman is a young-adult contemporary novel that blends coming-of-age realism, mystery, and emotional depth — centered on the inner world of its cynical, complex protagonist, Tori Spring. The story follows Victoria “Tori” Spring, a 17-year-old student at Higgs High School who feels detached, depressed, and disconnected from her peers and her own life. She’s cynical about friendships, apathetic about social life, and uses her blog as an emotional outlet.
