This was a reread of one of my favourite books of all time. I love this story so much, and even though I will never again be able to read it for the first time, not knowing anything about what happens, I still find something new in the story every time I read it.
There are so many twists and turns in this book that it keeps you gripped until the final page, and then you immediately want to read the next book, Good Girl Bad Blood. The characters are developed so well and seem so real, and you root for Pip throughout, feeling the same emotions she does along this rollercoaster. It also helps that I am the same age as Pip, and we are very similar people, so it feels as if I could be right there alongside her.
