I would like this book more if it was not written in verse like it is. However it still had a really good story line!
Tabitha, Y9 says:
I absolutely loved this book! It was so moving and I felt every word. Some of it was a bit confusing though, how it would flip chapters from one time to back in time. This book is for anyone who enjoyed reading ‘One’ (by the same author).
Evie, Y7 says:
The style is really interesting. It is a diary written in a poetic way. It is quite short because the writing is spread out.
