Critics Review
‘A striking new voice in YA fiction’
‘Kinetic and beautiful and unexpectedly life-affirming’‘Earnest and heartfelt … any teen who’s ever felt like an outsider will be able to relate to Aysel’s and Roman’s fully realized characters’ - Kirkus Reviews‘A stunning and haunting depiction of depression - you really feel Aysel’s numbness. I had to take ‘emotional recovery’ breaks while reading it. My Heart And Other Black Holes handles the sensitive topic of suicide expertly, with absolutely no patronizing or glamorization. And yet, the book leaves you with such a warm feeling of hope. It’s a remarkable achievement’‘Powerful…sucked me right in’‘This book proved hard to put down - both characters had my heart aching for them’‘This delicately handled and intimate portrayal of adolescent angst is an uplifting affirmation of the power of love and forgiveness to heal and restore. It’s a brave and exciting debut novel that addresses an important issue with wit, compassion and authentic teenage voices’ - Daily MailAbout The Author
