The first book in a long time I have ever finished and immediately gone back to re-read the first chapter.

A wonderfully written story of love. Chapter 1 hits with a sledgehammer once you've finished the book.

A well deserved 5 stars.

Nice idea, poorly executed. I felt each event was rushed, the love story predictable, and I much prefer characters described by more than their skin tone.

A fabulous story, magical and real all at once.

I also discovered that the perfect music to listen along to whilst reading is the Bridgerton soundtrack.

Immensely readable. Just what I needed to pull myself out of a reading rut!

Absolutely glorious read that I managed in 3 days - exactly what I needed after the funk of my failed 2020 reading challenge. The story of a wild girl in a small town and the journey taken by a disgraced and damaged child psychologist to fix her may have been predictable but thoroughly engaging, and that's all I ever ask for.

Interested to read so many negative reviews, comparing it to Hannah's other works and finding it lacking. I have The Nightingale in my bookshelf, so clearly I am in for a treat.

I loved this book so much that I carried it with me everywhere for 3 days just in case I found a few more minutes to carry on reading.

Another absolute beauty from Matt Haig. I love how he always writes with his main characters voice. He is so skilled, so intuitive.

Nora has taught me a lot of things during her journey. I want everyone to read this book!!

Devoured in less than 24 hours. Absolutely fell in love and I am heartbroken that I will never again be able to read it for the first time.

Exactly my kind of book. Poignant and hilarious and one I couldn't put down.

My favourite line, whilst Johanna is deciding what to keep and what to get rid of when she reinvents herself for the 2nd time -

To Reject:
Self harm - the world will come at you with knives anyway. You do not need to beat them to it.

The absolute definition of un-put-downable. Filled with twists and turns, one so massive I had to go back and check I hadn't missed a key detail earlier on! Haunting and tense - each chapter filled me with dread and I had to read on. Which is why I am writing this review at 2am!

We wish we could give it a million stars!

We have loved Morrigan's further ventures, and can't wait for the next instalment.

This could have been approximately 65% shorter, or more storyline packed into its 402 pages instead.

A valiant attempt at a YA Dystopian novel but misses the mark entirely. An irritating back-and-forth where it feels like nothing happens until the last 10% of the book.

Such a shame - I rarely feel so let down by a book particularly as I love the offerings of both Fletchers individually.

Won't be following the rest of the trilogy, but I am excited at other novels from Tom and Giovanna.

Very readable but I found it a little hard to follow. Whilst Unbelievable is probably what the author was probably what the author was aiming for I felt it stretched a little too far between the realms of Real and Make Believe to be comfortable.

Started on an off chance as something to read on the train, selected at random from my bulging bookcase.

I wasn't sure what to expect, but this wasn't it. A story written entirely though letters to a stranger, stretching the story as Zoe began to find her voice to tell the truth. Beautifully written and utterly believable, each letter I read I internally begged for more information. A fantastic YA novel, one I will recommend to the teenagers in my family.

I look forward to reading the other 2 Annabelle Pitcher's in my possession.

There aren't enough stars for me to give this book. I love books but have only fallen in love with a handful. This is one of them.
