Margot & Me
by Juno Dawson
I swithered between 3 and 4 stars for this, and suppose it's really a 3.5.
The main sticking point for me, sadly, is Fliss's narration. The 90s teen lingo sometimes felt a bit forced, and jarred me out of the story a little. The bits with her mum were beautiful and touching, particularly towards the end.
I loved Margot's sections, and wish we had more of the diary.
I also feel like the drama with Megan Jones wasn't quite resolved, in that she just... disappears never to be heard from again. Good for Fliss, frustrating for the reader.
I was a bit disappointed, but I think I went into this with Code Name Verity on my mind, which was kind of unfair as they are two entirely different books, although they share a time period.
