Oh I have so much love for Lara Bloom! What an incredible protagonist!!
First of all, I love the diary structure. It appeals to the younger and teenage reader and it’s so important for them to have a friend in a book. It took me right back to my own childhood, with all the teenage dramas and stories.
This book is written with such heart - it’s impossible to put down to be perfectly honest. We’ve all been there when we’ve changed ourself for someone else we like. This book is like an anthem! It feels like a right of passage.
Visually, this appeals to the younger readers too. Lara Bloom looks like someone everyone would want to be friends with and spend time with. She’s one incredible female role model - perfect for this period of time.
Overall, this book is excellent for the YA market. I can see it being really successful and lining the shelves everywhere.
