Mijn naam is Tori Spring.Ik hou van slapen en van bloggen. Vorig jaar - vóór al dat gedoe met Charlie en voordat ik de harde realiteit van examens en universitaire aanmeldingen onder ogen moest zien, en het feit dat ik op een dag echt met mensen zal moeten gaan praten – had ik vrienden. Alles was toen heel anders dan nu. Nu is er Solitaire. En Michael Holden. Ik weet niet wat Solitaire probeert te doen, en ik geef niet om Michael Holden. Echt niet. Solitaire is een wijs en meedogenloos eerlijk verhaal over een van de onvergetelijke personages uit de successerie Heartstopper.

So this is who Allison becomes, morphing into a person Marla usually knows and trusts but sometimes fears and fights.
