Review
Tori is a high school student in England. She meets Michael, a new student, when they both discover the hacker/prankster Solitaire by following a trail of post-it notes. As Tori slowly spirals into depression, Solitaire's pranks escalate to dangerous levels. Tori increasingly isolates herself from all but her brother -- who struggles with his own emotional issues -- and his boyfriend. All the while, Michael pushes to become her friend. Tori comes to realize that there is a connection between her life and Solitaire's pranks and feels she must take on the task of unmasking and stopping Solitaire. The author -- all of seventeen when she wrote Solitaire! -- captures the authenticity of teen voices and teen angst.
Overall Book Score: good
