What this book is about
Tori Spring, Victoria's nihilistic older sister (of Radio Silence fame), narrates her sixth form year through depression, exhaustion, and an increasingly strange series of pranks organized by a group called Solitaire. Alice Oseman's debut is darker and more difficult than her later work—an honest portrait of depression in adolescence.
