It was GREAT, FUN, ADORABLE, WITTY, HUMOROUS, EYE OPENING, AND FAST READ!
I though it would be boring 'cause where the hell is the fun when someone turned into a fly. But then, that was the fun in there. What could possibly happen if someone randomly been turned into fly. I mean no one would probably have the idea, right?
And the good part is, Ive all ready read "The Metamorphosis" in our literature class. It was a sad story about Gregor Samsa who just woke up and happened to be 'vermin' with no apparent reason. This book, I think, was inspired by that short story.
Also, it was such an inspirational story for every teenager out there who is just scared to be heard. However, strong enough to be themselves.
Yeah, so just read it! <3

This book was full of comedy and perfectly captured the essence of being a confused teenage girl.

You know when you read a book or watch a film and then halfway through you understand why the title makes so much sense? Well when I picked up Fly On The Wall by E Lockhart I did not think the title was supposed to be taken quite so literally.
I think this book would be good for people younger than me because the message one was that I understood years ago.

Read this because a booktuber hyped it up. It wasn’t bad and was refreshing to read after such heavy ones lately.
Girl is an outcast at school. Wishes she was a fly on the wall. Learns about people. Tries to be better person.
That’s about it.

3,5/5*
Oh my god.
What a wild ride.
I love love love the message of this book, that we're all just people, even though we look like intimidating aliens and all that jazz.
I also like weird books like this.
The ending kind of disappointed me a little bit. I don't really need a soppy, happy ending but each to their own, I guess.

I liked fly on the wall. I thought that it was a great idea, great characters and I love the way that e. Lockhart writes. The ending was amazing too.
I only gave this book three stars because of the section where she actually was a fly; I wasn't the biggest fan. The rather graphic descriptions of boys isn't my cup of tea. However, I loved the parts about her parents divorcing and the parts at school.
Overall, 3.75 stars, and I do still recommend it but it isn't necessarily for everyone.
