A Girl Like Lilac by Victoria L. James
5.0
This isn't my first read by VLJ - I've read her MC series so had an idea of her syle of writing, but being YA I knew this would be different.
Lilac Clarke - happy go lucky, carefree and colourful. The kind of girl you wish to be yourself, and be friends with. Toby Hunter - troubled, secretive, and hides in the shadows. The kind of guy you should avoid, but can't help but have a soft spot for.
Without going into too much detail and giving too much away (as I do tend to ramble sometimes!), I will say that this story, as with VLJ's others, captured my heart for a number of reasons.
A story of beauty, a story of torment. Feeling the love, feeling the hate. Keeping secrets, and setting them free. Holding out for our one true love. No matter what.
Yet again, it was a rollercoaster of emotion for me, and my eyes *may* have leaked a little. A Girl Like Lilac has earned its rightful place in my top 10 so far of the year.
