'I don't ever remember not being serious. As far as I'm concerned, I came out of the womb spouting cynicism and wishing for rain.'

My name is Tori Spring. I like the sleep and I like to blog. Last year I had friends. Things were very different, I guess, but that's all over now.

Now there's Solitaire. And Michael Holden.

I don't know what Solitaire are trying to do. And I don't care about Michael Holden. I really don't.

Darker than Heartstopper

I'd heard that this particular book was darker than the Heartstopper books, but I didn't actually realize that it would be such a different vibe. The whole angsty-depressed teenager theme didn't necessarily land with me, and I don't think that's a reflection on the book itself as it was a rather poor decision on my part to read this particular book at this particular time.

It was really cool to get some insight into Charlie Spring's sister's life, but this book just didn't fully click with me.
