"Oseman vividly illustrates that the world and its technologies offer opportunities for connection and fulfillment that go far beyond traditional definitions of success." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) "An intense, highly engaging, well-plotted story of relationships, explorations into gay and bisexual identities, family trauma, a straight-jacket education system, and, mostly, kids yearning to be their truest selves despite it all." -- Booklist (starred review) "Keenly intelligent. A smart, timely outing." -- Kirkus Reviews "Oseman is a master at combining sardonic wit with angst to create believable characters and a compelling contemporary story that will resonate with teens. VERDICT: A top pick for any YA collection." -- School Library Journal Praise for SOLITAIRE: "A fascinating debut from an author to watch." -- ALA Booklist "Oseman's debut could put her among the great young adult fiction authors.

" -- Voice of Youth Advocates (VOYA) "Tori's voice makes this story into a poignant yet blackly funny and even lively emotional journey. A deeply absorbing read." -- Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books "Oseman proves herself a clever, witty writer." -- Publishers Weekly "Honest and authentic. with appeal to fans of John Green." -- Bookseller (London) "In [Oseman's] punky, depressive, epigrammatic, mordant heroine Tori Spring we have a Holden Caulfield for the internet age." -- The Times (London) "Intrigue, suspense, and a fairly spectacular climax will appeal to teens asking the big questions." -- ALA Booklist.
