Arguably Joanna Harris’s best novel. She gives us a very compelling story that - while not being a true mystery novel - has enough twists to make any mystery genre lover very happy. You can read my full review here https://tcl-bookreviews.com/2015/02/24/best-served-cold/

When Charlotte Brontë, author of the classic novel "Jane Eyre", died in 1855, she left behind 20 pages of a manuscript of a new novel, along with some other scraps of pieces she had been working on. Almost 150 years later in 2003, Irish author Clare Boylan took it upon herself to complete what Charlotte had begun.

A startling novel about love and grief.
A breathtaking novel that will allow you to experience love and grief altogether.

I have only ever read a novel like You Are Not Here one other time. This is a novel yet in poetry form and I loved every second of it. I felt like I was Annaleah, living with the grief of losing a boyfriend right alongside her. I shed a few tears as parts were just heartbreaking and I laughed at others that were meant to be funny. This little novel is definitely one that I will be holding quite dear for the rest of my life and I can imagine myself reading it when I lost someone as dear to me as Brian was to Annaleah.

It was good for a basic fantasy YA novel. Romance felt forced and sporatic. Concept was interesting though.

"Like a big mad Dickens novel that just keeps going. Real life interviews with the Victorian working poor."
