"Everything about this novel is poetic. From the ripe symbolism and haunting telling of true love, to witnessing the true liberation of a woman who has led a life dictated by societal pressures. The story of Janie is both insanely specific to her life and also a statement on the universal transformative stages of womanhood."

Great concept
The whole concept of Ant Man is fantastic, I really enjoy the story and the graphics. It's very imaginative. I'd love to know more on how this would be filmed particularly the kitchen scene for example. I like that real references and places are used to explain the scale.

Outstanding. Brilliant.
Wow. One, why haven’t I read this book sooner? Two, I cannot believe this is her debut novel at all, I could not tell it was that brilliant. Very impressed. I love the cover of this story too, magical. I also loved how the story was told through short chapters, including letters and clues. Made it an easy, fast paced read I didn’t want to finish.

I cannot wait to see what lies ahead in the sequel (Legendary). I can honestly say I have not read anything similar to this story before and I absolutely loved it! I awarded a well deserved five stars and already know it is going to be in my top 20 of 2018. A must buy and read from me. I would love to see this book turned into a film. It will mess with the readers head in parts but remember… It’s only a game

"I guess I am an Anglophile. It's probably in the same way that it's a little bit exotic - you don't have as much context. I think context is probably the reason you are inclined to dislike something. Chris Keating definitely introduced that movie to me and I love that the songs are so well integrated into the story - they are as important as the story to setting the tone. Probably more so than Bugsy Malone I'd say. It's a mood film. It's a classic horror story but the way the songs are integrated is really seamless. I've definitely told people before that The Wicker Man is one of my favourite musicals and they've said, ""Woah wait a minute - that's not a musical"" - there's this idea that it's above a musical. That's the kind of tone I love - it has a dark ending - the stuffed-shirted, conservative pious guy who's just there to save a lost girl gets burned at the stake at the conclusion."

In a well ordered universe I wouldn't be left with so many questions! I loved this book,it's a story about friendship and finding out who you really are when your not in someone elses shadow. No matter how much you love and admire that person. As someone with social anxiety, I found Emily to be very relatable, and much braver than I if I had been handed this list.This book took me back to being a teenager and some of the summers I had, (none as eventful as this story!) A story of friendship and romance! My only little niggle is I want to know if she mends things with Dawn and Collins and if Gideon finds his perfect girl ( I have a rather large soft spot for him) In truth I wanted Emily to fall in love with him instead because he seemed so sweet, but I can't have everything!
