Book girl and the suicidal mime

Melancholy with dark undertones - don't expect this ‘light' YA novel to be light in content. But also don't let that scare you away from this brilliant story. Creative and thoughtful, it has a way of getting under your skin and not letting go, especially if you've ever felt distant from the world around you, but it also has small notes of hope about a future, even if it isn't the future you envision for yourself. I was pleasantly surprised by it and will certainly be thinking about for many days to come - a sign of a truly good story. If you are tired of the same old wishy-washy YA novels that frequent the shelf and are looking for something much more poignant and meaningful, then do yourself a favour and check out this book. Can't wait to continue the series!
