REVIEW: Read Me Like A Book - Liz Kessler

Monday 15 December 2014
GENRE: YA
PAGES: 304
PUBLISHER: Indigo
FORMAT: Paperback
BUY IT: Waterstones
RATING: 5 Stars
 
SUMMARY
Ashleigh Walker is in love. You know the feeling - that intense, heart-racing, all-consuming emotion that can only come with first love. It's enough to stop her worrying about bad grades at college. Enough to distract her from her parents' marriage troubles. There's just one thing bothering her . . .

Shouldn't it be her boyfriend, Dylan, who makes her feel this way - not Miss Murray, her English teacher?
 
REVIEW
I've read a couple of Liz Kessler's middle grade books, so I was excited about this YA offering, and it didn't disappoint. Ash is a great character - funny, sarcastic, insecure, and really relatable. It was really interesting to see how how her character developed as she tackles dealing with her parents marriage problems, her love life and her college work. It's her love life which plays a major part of this story, and it deals with some intense issues in a really sensitive way. There's some good shocks and twists in it which I found really enjoyable.
 
 I can't wait to read more YA from Liz.
