A way to interpret the line 'This is not a love story' in Solitaire occurred to me.

Obviously, romance doesn't play any significant role in Solitaire. I don't know what Michael and Tori have going on, but it's likely not entirely romantic.

In reality though, Solitaire IS a love story if you think of it through Alice Oseman's way of storytelling. Platonic and familial love are shown to be just as important as romantic relationships throughout the Osemanverse, and they are actually more important as plot themes in many of Alice's works, including Solitaire.

Tori learns about the joy and the hardships of true friendship from Becky, Michael, and even Lucas. The struggles of feeling betrayed by close friends or trying to reconnect with childhood friends only to learn that it doesn't really work anymore, as well as the odd but incredible experience of an incredible person suddenly appearing. Friendship is a complicated and important part of life, and Tori discovers so much about it in Solitaire.

Tori also faces challenges with her family, between the conflict with her parents and her struggle to support Charlie. She has to be reminded that her family care for her and that she is able to reach out to them when she needs them.

Love is a crucial element in Solitaire, but the cover says (insists, really) that it is not a love story. I think this is Tori's internal voice saying this because, throughout the story, all the way to the climax, Tori believes that she isn't worthy of love.

Tori doesn't think she's important or special at all. She thinks that every bad thing that happens to her is deserved, and she doesn't understand why Charlie shows concern for her or why Michael wants to be her friend because she doesn't think anyone would love who she is.

'This is not a love story' could refer to more than romantic love, but also include any kind of love Tori thinks she is unworthy of.

the way my mental health is being held together by one british gay nerd, his rugby lad boyfriend and his depressed older sister.
