Finally finished solitaire, i enjoyed the ending a lot. Although i can now see that (at least) my aromantic reading of Tori was mistaken 😿
I honestly did not expect them to get together, or maybe hoped they wouldn't? I'm not sure why, I just saw them better as a platonic duo maybe.
One of the only lines I think that i should like, but I dont, was when Michael told Tori that he mistook his love as curiosity for her; I'm not sure why it couldn't have been both, the love acting as curiosity, the curiosity evolving into love, or his curiosity and love acting in parallel.
It felt a bit rush in the end, not a bad thing necessarily, but i think it was quite quick how it all got resolved, especially the whole lucas-solitaire thing.
I loved how it portrayed the story as a sort of cautionary tale, pushing you to try stuff more, to act, "patience kills"
Overall a good book, but i think its one I'd only reread for Michael and Tori:))
