I picked this book in Tesco (Tesco and Amazon seem to be a common theme here). This story is about Pearl, a 16-year-old, London girl who lost her mother. Her mother died giving birth to Rose, her sister by her step- father. This book details with Pearl's struggle to come to terms with her mother's death in the following year. I admit, I did struggle to read it and had to leave it and come back to it. As it was a YA fiction I did find to 'get into' the story as such as I found parts hard to believe. The writing expressed clearly the awkwardness in how Pearl deals with situations such as avoiding her best friend and meeting her real father. I don't think I would read this book again in a hurry.
