A review by kaitlynmccully
Mouthing the Words by Camilla Gibb
4.0
This novel was unlike anything I have ever read. From the first page, it is immediately harrowing. You move with Thelma as she navigates the - already stressful - task of growing up, whilst trying to avoid the prying thoughts of the enemies around her.
I have never read a novel so jarring and yet so sophisticated. Thelma is intelligent from a young age, and the disarray of her thoughts is so beautiful captured throughout the book by Gibb.
I would recommend to anyone - with a slight warning of the contents (sexual abuse, mental illness, physical illness).
