Ink by Alice Broadway
3.0

Ink was probably the most recent book in my TBR list and I found it on a bookshop purely by chance and I just had to get it! I was in London the last week of November and my and friends went into a bookstore and it was the first book I laid eyes on, so it would really be a shame not to get it! ❇
I found the synopsis extremely intresting, as it stated that everything you do is forever engraved in your body as a tattoo. That thought seemed to me very unnerving, because every accomplishment, every secret would be openly shown for the whole world to see! In my opinion, I prefer when people are not that easy to read, meaning that you have to unlock them by getting to know them better! Anyway, that's not the case with Saintstone, Leora's hometown in the book. Also, how incredibly pretty is the name Leora?? I was awestruck when I first read it and it easily became one of my favourite names! ❇
Leora, who is the main protagonist in the book, is a very interesting young girl and I believe this whole book is her coming of age story, as she deals with the loss of a parent and an identity crisis shortly after. I would want her to be a little bit more strong-willed, but her ups and downs are understandable considering she is now venturing to adulthood. ❇
Ending, when I finish this book I felt it had more potential that was undiscovered, so I went to Book Depository (link in bio) to see what others had rated it and there I found out that it's a trilogy! I'm definitely going to buy the next book when it comes out, as I want to follow Leora and her rebellious friends!
