In Bloom by Matthew Crow
5.0
Wow! This book was crammed full with the perfect balance of humour, tragedy and romance which came together harmoniously. I can remember that after I finished this book I was left completely speechless.
In Bloom is about a 15 year old boy called Francis Wootton who gets diagnosed with cancer. As a result, he has to go to the cancer ward in the hospital and there he meets the love of his life, Amber Spratt. She’s witty, funny and extremely pretty- everything Francis wants in a girl but she too has cancer. Amber teaches Francis how to live life to the full, enjoying it while they can. They’re passionate love for each other keeps them together and quite possibly alive.
The book had lots of interesting issues come up, for example peer pressure and dealing drugs which I felt were dealt with very well. The whole book was very thought provoking, making it even more enjoyable.
This book gave me that rare feeling where I want everybody to read it and enjoy it like I did, but on the other hand, I want to keep it as my special secret book that only I can read and enjoy! I thoroughly enjoyed this book and I will definitely be reading any other of Matthew Crow’s books.
