Enthralling

I can't celebrate the romantic ideas or the killing of savages in this book. But I can say I'm fascinated by it and that I find it worth going back to. It's a story which has gained its own life and will probably be with us for as long as we're reading books

A novel of...physical intensity and savage excitement

Untouched by bookishness... The making and the achievement of such a hero [Buck] constitute, not a pretty story at all, but a very powerful one

Just One Day is a character rich exploration of that time in life when you need to re-examine who you are. It’s about clarity, and love, and heartbreak, and angst. It’s the reason I love reading Gayle Forman’s world.

Author Forman explores “the line between true self and feigned self,” the multiple personae, roles and identities that coexist in a single soul.

Sweepingly romantic, this book is a living, breathing memory of the whirlwind of emotions that go hand in hand with falling in love.

Jacqueline Wilson writes the kind of books you just can't put down, making you feel so many emotions that you don't know whether to laugh or cry . . . a must-read for teenagers

Chosen by a reader as her favourite book

Moving and intense story involving domestic violence and breast cancer but which manages to be uplifting about both.

Yet another brilliant book that you never want to put down.
