My Side of the Diamond
My Side of the Diamond | Sally Gardner
3 posts | 1 read
An extraordinary tale about the search for love from the acclaimed and Carnegie winning novelist Sally Gardner. Jasmine has been shunned ever since her best friend Becky disappeared. But Becky didn't just disappear - she jumped off a tall building and seemingly never reached the ground. It was as if she simply vanished into thin air. Did Jasmine have something to do with her disappearance? Or was it more to do with Icarus, so beguiling and strangely ever youthful, with whom Becky became suddenly besotted... With detailed and intriguing illustrations and innovative format to create a unique, inventive and memorable reading experience.

A very strange and sometimes confusing story but it's actually the way it's told that I struggled the most with. Rather than follow events as they happen characters reflect back on them from several years in the future with a lot in the form of one side of a conversation.

Due to the style I felt quite removed from the story so while parts were fascinating I didn't feel overly invested. It's a very quick & easy read but not for me.

Today's book mail from #readersfirst I suspect it might be a little (or a lot) weird but I'm really looking forward to it.

OK, so not technically a new author, but she is new to me, as I have not read any of her books. This one I will be starting as soon as Readers First posts it out 😊
