Read Me Like A Book

by Liz Kessler

'An important contribution to the YA literary canon and a welcome reminder that love is love, no matter what.' - Jodi Picoult, New York Times bestselling author

The first YA novel from bestselling author Liz Kessler, Read Me Like A Book is a brave, honest and vital coming-out story that follows one girl's exploration of love, identity and sexuality.

Ashleigh Walker is having a difficult year. She's struggling at school, and coming home to parents who are on the verge of divorce. She knows she should be happy spending time with her boyfriend - but, for some reason, being around him just makes her worry more. It's only in her English teacher, Miss Murray, that she feels she's found a kindred spirit. Miss Murray helps Ashleigh develop her writing skills and her confidence - but what happens when boundaries begin to blur? What will the repercussions be for Ashleigh? And how will she navigate her own sexuality?

Meh. This was just a meh kind of book for me. I waited ages to read it, having heard such good things, but it just seemed to be missing some kind of spark. I liked Ashleigh and was intrigued by the whole fancying her teacher thing, but it never actually went anywhere. It wasn't controversial or any thing, and you could even go so far as to say it was just in Ashleigh's head as there was no solid proof it was a two way street.

*shrugs* I don't really have a lot to say about it, really.
