The Truth and Lies of Ella Black
The Truth and Lies of Ella Black | Emily Barr
15 posts | 12 read | 1 reading | 7 to read
Ella Black seems to live the life most other seventeen-year-olds would kill for . . . Until one day, telling her nothing, her parents whisk her off to Rio de Janeiro. Determined to find out why, Ella takes her chance and searches through their things. And realises her life has been a lie. Her mother and father aren't hers at all. Unable to comprehend the truth, Ella runs away, to the one place they'll never think to look - the favelas. But there she learns a terrible secret - the truth about her real parents and their past. And the truth about a mother, desperate for a daughter taken from her seventeen years ago . . .

Just started this (received from #NetGalley for an honest review) - don‘t know much about this book but it seems to have a bit of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde going on

I am starting to understand that nobody‘s life is straightforward. I am far from being the only one with demons.

You don‘t have to believe in any god to feel the need to stop from time to time and thank the universe for the fact that you are all right. Life is fragile, and to be safe and fed and busy is an incredible piece of luck.

People who say that money isn‘t everything have never tried to live without it.

No one is looking at me. People are probably fighting their own battles.

The universe the universe the universe. I picture outer space. I am not even a fraction of a dot. I am tiny and insignificant.
