I remember the first proper book I ever read, it was back in 2004. I have been reading books for 20 years, and yes many made me cry and gasp and feel ecstatic, but never before a book has hooked me so much. Never before I have spent entire days picturing scenes from the book, analysing my emotions at each action and dialogue. Never before I felt so connected to a character, and in this case to the author as well, as I did with Guy's Girl. It made me look at myself differently, it made me realise that what I was doing to myself was far from being 'normal'. Emma Noyes wrote this beautifully, I love the way she used the space she had in the pages, the description of the disease was so real, it was beautiful and haunting at the same time. Emma wrote Ginny so well that I felt like I knew her, and seeing her struggle was so hard. I cried with her, I felt broken with her, and I felt so happy at the end! I think Emma is a fantastic author, and this book is now my favourite. Can't wait to read her next books to come ❤️
