Another hard-hitting novel by Holly Bourne that comes disguised as fluffy fun.
This time around we focus on Amber, starting as she heads off to America to see her mother for the first time in two years. Amber is excited at the prospect of working at a summer camp and spending time with her mother, but she also worries that her mother is not interested in her.
The voice is distinctive. From the moment we see Amber boarding the plane with a hangover to the very dramatic journey she makes out of camp, this is crammed full of conundrums, advice and humour.
Personally I would have liked more Lottie and Evie, but there’s plenty here to keep readers interested.
