mysterious
Starts off really strong but quickly becomes diluted and a little nonsensical around the halfway mark. So much potential - I wish I got to read the book that the setup promised.

I loved this book, definitely recommend! Tori's voice comes through so strongly, and her perspective combined with the writing style give so much insight into what it's like to be a depressed teen.
I only read The Catcher in the Rye once 10 years ago, but I definitely picked up some references here, and I'm guessing it was a source of inspiration. If The Catcher in the Rye didn't strike you the way it does a lot of people, especially teens, try reading Solitaire.
The only reason this didn't get five stars is that the ending doesn't feel in line with the rest of the book, although it has its moments.

I know a lot of people don't like this last book but I thought it was a really fitting end to the series. I liked seeing friends and foes from past books again, even if the plotting behind them showing up is a little weak. I think with either a better mystery plot, one that was less dramatic, or no real mystery at all I would have given this 4 stars, but Harris pokes fun at its clumsiness so I don't mind too much.
I know a lot of people wanted Sookie to end up with someone else, or even by herself, but it's been obvious from the beginning that this is always how it was going to end. Every unique book cover in this series depicts Sookie at night, and in this last installment we finally see her facing the sunrise, home, surrounded by friends, and flourishing.
This series was a fun read with excellent world building, I definitely recommend :)
