Story
Everyone knows that Nick and Charlie are the perfect couple – that they’re inseparable. But now Nick is leaving for university and Charlie will be left behind at Sixth Form. Everyone’s asking if they’re staying together, which is a stupid question – they’re ‘Nick and Charlie’ for God’s sake! But as the time to say goodbye gets inevitably closer, both Nick and Charlie question whether their love is strong enough to survive being apart. Or are they delaying the inevitable? Because everyone knows that first loves rarely last forever....

Story
The festive season isn't always happy for Tori Spring and her brother, Charlie. And this year's going to be harder than most. I used to think that difficult was better than boring, but I know better now.... I’m not going to think about the past few months, about Charlie and me and all of the sad. I’m going to block it all out just for today. 'Happy Christmas,' I say.

Story
Georgia feels loveless - in the romantic sense, anyway. She’s 18, never been in a relationship, or even had a crush on a single person in her whole life. She thinks she's an anomaly, people call her weird and she feels a little broken. But she still adores romance - weddings, fan fiction and happily ever afters. After a disastrous summer, Georgia is now at university, hundreds of miles from home. She is more determined than ever to find love - and her annoying roommate, Rooney, is a bit of a love expert, so perhaps she can help.

In case you're wondering, this is not a love story. My name is Tori Spring. I like to sleep and I like to blog. Last year - before all that stuff with Charlie and before I had to face the harsh realities of A-Levels and university applications and the fact that one day I really will have to start talking to people - 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.

Charlie Davis is in pieces. At 17, she’s already lost more than most people lose in a lifetime. But she’s learned how to forget it through cutting; the pain washes out the sorrow, until there is nothing but calm. She doesn't have to think about her father, or what happened under the bridge. Her best friend, Ellis, who is gone forever. Or the mother who has nothing left to give her. Kicked out of a special treatment center when her insurance runs out, Charlie finds herself in the bright and wild landscape of Tucson, Arizona, where she begins the unthinkable.

Summary
Three novels from the phenomenally talented Alice Oseman – winner of the 2021 YA Book Prize and creator of the beloved graphic novel series Heartstopper, now a major Netflix series.
SOLITAIRE
My name is Tori Spring.
I like to sleep and I like to blog. Last year – before all that stuff with Charlie and before I had to face the harsh realities of A-Levels and university applications and the fact that one day I really will have to start talking to people – I had friends. Things were very different, I guess, but that’s all over now.
RADIO SILENCE
What if everything you set yourself up to be was wrong?
Frances has always been a study machine with one goal, elite university. Nothing will stand in her way; not friends, not a guilty secret – not even the person she is on the inside.
But when Frances meets Aled, the shy genius behind her favourite podcast, she discovers a new freedom.
I WAS BORN FOR THIS
For Angel Rahimi life is about one thing: The Ark – a pop-rock trio of teenage boys who are taking the world by storm. Being part of The Ark’s fandom has given her everything she loves – her friend Juliet, her dreams, her place in the world.
Jimmy Kaga-Ricci owes everything to The Ark. He’s their frontman – and playing in a band with his mates is all he ever dreamed of doing. But dreams don’t always turn out the way you think…

These are perfect, love them to bits
My only concern is that the chapters aren't named, so if you want to go directly to the second or third book, you kinda have to guess. I didn't find anywhere else that had this, so I here it is:
- Solitaire - 00:00:00 to 07:15:59 (Chapters 1-46)
- Radio Silence - 07:15:59 to 17:38:19 (Chapters 47-61)
- I Was Born for This - 17:38:19 to 27:24:00 (Chapters 62-139)
Hope this helps anyone ♥ All three books are honestly great and I personally plan to reread (and relisten) to them many times in the future!

Perfect imperfection
I absolutely love Alice Oseman! Her books are so real and authentic, she really grasps the feeling of growing up and not knowing where you stand, showing all the difficult and often contradictious emotions of teenagers and depicting mental health issues. Everything about her stories feels so real, feels so relatable.
The narrators tell her stories with calming, even soothing voices and I just could not stop listening. So thanks very much for these perfect audiobooks telling the storys of the perfect imperfections of growing up and becoming who you are :)

Loved radio silence and I was born for this
The good: radio silence and I was born for this are great. Really enjoyed them both, good plots, engaging listen, the kind of books you can't put down. Narration was really good on both
Really need a spinoff of IWBFT.
So, the bad. Solitaire was really not great in my opinion. It definitely felt like it was written by a 17 year old, and although that was impressive, it wasn't a great book.
The plot was weak, with the mystery of who was behind solitaire being fairly obvious from the beginning. Characters were also quite weak (tori is just a personified tumbler post from 2014). Narration was also very flat which worked for the character, but still quite annoying
