It is told in many different voices, from the addicts themselves to the friends watching from the outside who try to prevent tragedy.

#BookBinge Day 9: I didn‘t realize Melvin Burgess shares my initials - and he is so prolific too with such edgy themes. Got these books from a librarian friend who was downsizing her collection when she left Singapore. More of my haul from her beloved collection here: https://wp.me/pDlzr-eIv

Pre-reading (and making notes in..I know..it's painful) the set texts for my Children's Literature module in October. This ones a childhood favourite of mine so I was ecstatic when I saw it was one of the books I will be studying for my final year.
