so-soI'd really like to give this one a better review. There's nothing wrong with it. It's very well written and has a satisfying ending. It just didn't do much for me. Ultimately, I'd rather have been reading something else.

pickAnother fab contender for the UKLA book awards 2017. FCO follows teenager Iris as she is whisked out of LA and back to London to meet the dying father she thought had abandoned her. Iris is an awkward and neglected teen raised reluctantly by her gold digging mother; her only companion is quirky Thurston who encourages her to live for the moment. The characters are brilliantly crafted and I finished the book wanting to hear more about them!
On to the next from the UKLA nominee list! I've been really impressed so far!
pickThis was a quick read but a good one. About family and love and dealing with the world. Very well done.
Iris itches constantly for the strike of a match. But when she‘s caught setting one too many fires, she‘s dragged away to London before she can get arrested. At least, that‘s the story her mother tells.
Iris finds herself in the English countryside, where her father— who she‘s never met—lives. Though not for very much longer. He's dying, and her mother is determined to claim his life‘s fortune, including his priceless art collection.

pickArson, art and revenge. This story about broken families and fractured truths kept me reading until the very end. Great character development and an incredible father/daughter bond round out this emotional read.
pickLiked this more than I thought I would - arsonist Iris meets her dying uber-rich father for the first time in years, while her golddigging mother tries to work out how to get her hands back on his fortune. Lies are uncovered and revenge meted. Read it!
