Speak – Laurie Halse Anderson:
About a girl who had been raped and couldn’t talk to anyone about it. Unfortunately considering something awful happened in this story it was terribly written and there was nothing in that significantly helped the girl try and deal with what had happened to her until the last 4 pages when everything happened at once and it was all over. It was a terrible book that I’d certainly never read again!
Addition – Toni Jordan:
This was a quick choice book from the library and I can see why, a book about a womans fight with obsessive compulsive counting! The book was fantastically written and didn’t venture off the storyline and become something that didn’t make any sense! I read it in just a few hours because I couldn’t put down, definitely worth a read!
