The Places I've Cried in Public by Holly Bourne

4.0

Aside from the tremendously important and eye opening message at the core of the book, I want to talk about the writing style. The writing style, in my opinion had the perfect amount of stream of consciousness, dialogue, plot movement, introspection and character development. Rarely do I encounter such enjoyable prose which doesn't bore me for even a second or I don't think it's dragging on or moving too fast. Every aspect of good storytelling was present, it had a fair share of details (not too many, not too little), each character, as seen from Amelie's eyes was very well fleshed, and the story progressed in such a way it never felt forced. In short, the flow of the book was almost perfect and that's the best way for the message to come across in the most beneficial way.
