Finished in two days
I just finished solitaire and I was hooked. It is a book that follows mental health and I think that is great because it helps get rid of some of the stigma surrounding it. This book is in the heartstopper universe and it focuses more on Tori and following how she feels how she interacts and what she does. I found myself really resonating with her in some aspects and it made me cry a little.
