From: A little Bristol bookshop called Bloom and Curll that ticks all the good independent bookseller boxes – I picked this book up for the cover but was pleased to be told the author is a local!
Read: On a Sunday morning before getting out of bed – as in, I refused to get up until I’d finished it.
Felt: impressed. This had neatly avoided the standard pitfalls that can make young adult fiction hard to get into – kids were credited with enough intelligence and individuality to make them and the plot interesting. The story was told from a young girl’s view point and felt new and interesting. There was no ‘good and bad’ divide – which I really liked. Everyone felt very real.
Would recommend: as a quick read – I probably won’t re-read this book but I would definitely pick up anything else she wrote.
