This heart-breaking book is raw, devastating and yet beautiful. * Blue Fairy Tales *It is an incredibly eloquent exploration of grief, loss and fame. Heartbreaking, poignant, beautiful, devastating, engaging and raw. Just read it. * Mary Judy *This book was such an easy delve into and I honestly couldn’t put it down. I empathised with Emmy as she grieved the death of her sister. Whilst I definitely did not agree with how she coped with the loss, it was something I could understand. I loved her friends for being so supportive during that time. I also saw how fame and influence impacts people and how that influenced Emmy’s view on the world around her. This was so well written and I loved the various media within the book * Kaitlyn’s Library *
