&quo...You read Shadow and Bone recently? YESSSSSS.<br /><br />"But it did. It was so wonderful. You know when you start a book and you just know that you're going to love it? That is exactly how I felt reading Heart-shaped Bruise." YES. And how awesome! Because that cover terrifies me!<br /><br />"I loved how the fact she was writing in a notebook, never sure if someone would actually read it, made it feel so much more personal." I think Code Name Verity also did something similar...<br /><br />"I find myself reading the book simply to find out what happened rather than because I actually want to. This didn't happen with Heart-shaped Bruise. ... she didn't want to think about them long enough to write them down until she really had to, but that the secrets were always there, at the back of her mind, permeating every thought."<br />That's some fantastic writing then. I love me some good anti-heroes. I hadn't heard of this book before, but I think I'm now adding to the TBR.Christina Reads YAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14937783114868207494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7935373488687590035.post-23851006807972210302013-07-23T14:25:06.640+01:002013-07-23T14:25:06.640+01:00If there's any way to get me to read a book, t...If there's any way to get me to read a book, that very last line definitely did it.

You totally hit the nail on the head there and I think that's why so many people connected to Emily.
