Truth and Lies of Ella Black
Truth and Lies of Ella Black | Emily Barr
15 posts | 12 read | 1 reading | 7 to read
From the author of the "unputdownable" international hit The One Memory of Flora Banks comes a fast-paced cross-continental journey of identity, family, darkness and light, and the ways in which we define ourselves. Ella Black has always had dark inclinations. She's successfully hidden her evil alter ego from her family and friends, but Bella is always there, ready to take control and force Ella to do bad things. When Ella's parents drag her out of school one afternoon and fly across the globe to Rio de Janeiro with no believable explanation, Bella longs to break free--and so does Ella. Because for all that her parents claim to be doing what's best for her, Ella knows there is something going on that they're not divulging, and she is determined to find out what. Once in Rio, Ella learns a shocking truth about her family that gives way to a mission through the streets and beaches of Brazil in search of her authentic self. But the truth has many layers, and as Ella uncovers more and more about her own history, she struggles to come to terms with just where it is that she came from.

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.
