Abandoned by her drug-addicted mother at the age of eleven, high school student Taylor Markham struggles with her identity and family history at a boarding school in Australia.
I'm so conflicted on what rating to give this... While this book is a 5 star read for me every day of the week, I didn't really enjoy the audiobook experience. I wasn't a fan of the narrator and this really impacted on my enjoyment of this book in audio format. I didn't like the voices she did for each character and found it hard to distinguish between them. Also, the voices of the characters in year 7 sounded like 5 year olds and this really bugged me! It was all a bit too ocker and the characters sounded caricature-ish. As a result this version really lacked the heart and emotion of the book, which still never fails to make me cry no matter how many times I've read it.
Audiobook rating - 3 stars
