“It's like being in love, discovering your best friend.” I cried. I'm still crying. This book is so well written but it is heartbreaking. Don't know how or when I will recover.

I AM A COWARD I wanted to be heroic and I pretended I was. I have always been good at pretending. I spent the first twelve years of my life playing at the Battle of Stirling Bridge with my five big brothers, and even though I am a girl they let me be William Wallace, who is supposed to be one of ou...

The synopsis of this book didn't really intrigue me. I wouldn't have read it if it hadn't been recommended to me by a friend. I'm sorry to say I didn't end up liking it.

This is an audiobook review. I’d heard this book was amazing, so I was very excited to listen to it, but I was definitely not prepared to love it so much. I think I was a bit sceptic of all the hype, but let me tell you it is well deserved. These characters are so rich. They are lovely girls and...

Wow - what a roller coaster. This is written in letter/diary form from the perspective of a lady caught by the Gestapo. It focuses a lot on her friendship with another woman involved with the war effort in Britain. There's an amazing number of twists and turns, which makes writing a review v v diff...
