MEDIA REVIEWS
I felt like I was living this book. Zoella This book is exquisite,and exactly what YA needs. Books about female friendships! I still can't get over how REAL this story was,every single part of it was perfectly realised. It was so sophisticated in how it was written,with beautiful BEAUTIFUL prose,and yet it never once dragged and I raced through it. It deals with difficult topics with sensitivity and humour,and doesn't once patronise the subjects it tackles. I am so excited to see what Sara writes next. This author is one to watch! Holly Bourne,author of Am I Normal Yet If you loved Jennifer Niven's'All the Bright Places'this is a book you need to get your hands on...This is a book where you just love the characters,you ache at the complexities of their feelings,you read with baited breath,just wanting what might be impossible,for everything to be ok. Maximum Pop Teenage girls are a mystery - even when you've been one! This tale of three such creatures - Caddy,Rosie and Suzanne - attempts to unravel their secrets and the result is quite something. Heat Magazine A moving,exhilarating YA novel about teen friendship... any reader who wants warmth,hilarity,vivid highs,lows and heartbreak should grab this book,which proves that feminist doesn't mean humourless and female-focussed doesn't mean lightweight.
