The same questions whirl round and round in my head:
What does he want from me?
How could I have let this happen?
AM I GOING TO DIE?
17-year-old Grace wakes up in a white room, with a table, pens and paper - and no clue how she got here.
As Grace pours her tangled life onto the page, she is forced to remember everything she's tried to forget. There's falling hopelessly in love with the gorgeous Nat, and the unravelling of her relationship with her best friend Sal. But there's something missing. As hard as she's trying to remember, is there something she just can't see?
Grace must face the most important question of all. Why is she here?
A story of dark secrets, intense friendship and electrifying attraction.
Review:
I picked up Entangled because of its gorgeous cover. The red of the girl's hair and her white skin and the way she looks at you...Gorgeous. Needless to say that I would have bought Entangled even if the plot hadn't interested me.
But Entangled is more than a beautiful cover. So much more.
I loved it.
It made me cry and I don't cry often and almost never because of a book. But Entangled made my vision all blurry and the only reason I didn't start bawling was my husband who sat beside me on the sofa and who would have gotten a shock if I'd cried over a book.
But back to why I loved Entangled:
Grace.
I was nothing like her when I was a teen and I don't understand her actions and I don't support them, but nothing of that matters.
What matters is:
Grace is a character that feels real. She's got flaws. She does stupid things – lots of stupid things. And sometimes I wanted to shake or maybe slap her. And sometimes I wanted to hug her. And sometimes I wanted to cry with her because her worries and pain and insecurities felt so real.
She's someone who'll stay with me even after I've put down the book. I certainly won't forget her name any time soon.
Cat Clarke did a fabulous job telling Grace's story and I loved the way she did it. I loved how we found out more about Grace's life through her writing, how she wrote down her emotions and experiences and how she learned about herself through it.
I don't want to give away too much of the plot, so I'll stop here.
Just one more thing: Go, buy the book!

I was already on the fence about getting this. You've certainly encouraged me to take that final step.
I can't wait to read it! Not available in US yet. Or Kindle. Hopefully soon??
Oooh, what a fascinating sounding book - I'll be on the lookout for it!
