A quick, compelling read. Although there‘s actually nothing nice about the topic, or most of the people in the book.

slategreyskies Odd that literature is spelled wrong on the cover. I keep looking at it, thinking that I must be seeing it wrong. 2w
slategreyskies ^^^to add to that comment of mine, I just looked up the word, and it‘s apparently a real word that I‘d never heard of before. It‘s always a good day when you learn something new! :) 2w
TrishB @slategreyskies I just screen shotted the pic from Amazon- you are right! But on my actual printed book it is correctly spelt on the front 😁 which confused me no end after your comment. So it‘s correct on the book…. 2w

TrishB Even more confusing- the one on the front of the book is spelled differently …. @slategreyskies 2w
slategreyskies Oh wow! Now I don‘t know if it‘s in reference to the other word or is just a typo. Haha! 2w
TrishB @slategreyskies confusion all round 😁 2w
squirrelbrain I can‘t believe I didn‘t notice this! 🤦‍♀️ 2w

The next book, after Water, in the ‘four elements‘ set by John Boyne.

This one, about a gay footballer caught up in a sexual assault scandal with a 19-year old girl, is as compelling as the first book. I couldn‘t put it down and read it in one sitting (it is only short though!)

There was one bit that just seemed a bit OTT! But then what do I know about this murky tabloid world?! Be interested to hear what others think…

Out 18th April in UK.

AmyG Ooooo can‘t wait to read this one. 3w
TrishB Just finished it. Which particular bit? Personally, walking into a professional footie team at 19 is a bit OTT! 2w
TrishB My Waterstones order must have come early (yesterday!). 2w

squirrelbrain @TrishB - Amazon still says release date of 18th. 🤔🤪 2w
squirrelbrain @TrishB that bit too, but more the part where he had his arm broken. 2w
TrishB Oh yes! Bit weird. Some bits definitely a bit more compelling! I‘d have liked 50 pages more to see the after the ending. 2w
