I saw this book in a shop window and thought I would give it a try. I was amazed at how addictive it was, it was like being stuck in a time warp. Everything else faded out and I completely lost track of time. I only realized how long I was reading for when it was dinner time :L This book is absolutely amazing. I would recommend it to teens and adults alike. It manages to be both extremely funny and deeply sad and moving. If you have ever lost someone close to you like I have, you will find yourself relating completely to the main character Alex who has just lost her mother. It captures the exact feelings of love and loss but manages to stay upbeat and funny at the same time. The main character Alex is very believable as are her two best friends Sarah and Rachel. When Alex's mother dies, her father pulls away and Alex becomes an "ice queen". She doesn't taste food and blocks out her father. To stop herself getting hurt again she pulls away from everyone, until she meets David Mac Fadden. Though it sounds like it, this is not your typical love story. It is realistic and believable while at the same time being completely suited to romantics. This is one of my favourite books because it contains so many well written themes and the characters are extremely believable. And it was only 9 euro. Bargain ;) Deegan is a very talented writer. READ THIS BOOK!!!!!!!
