Heart-Shaped Bruise ~ Tanya Byrne
This book is a-m-a-z-i-n-g. Definitely a 5/5 star read. I strongly recommend this book to anyone between the ages of 13 and 16, mainly girls. It is truly addictive, and I was reading it so much that I was able to finish it in a day - It just keeps on making you to want to know more about what happens next.
If you want to know that truth, it's the best book I've ever read, along side with Life of Pi.
Here's the blurb:
“They say I’m evil.
The police. The newspapers. The girls from school who sigh on the six o’clock news and say they always knew there was something not quite right about me.
And everyone believes it. Including you.
But you don’t know. You don’t know who I used to be. Who I could have been.
Sometimes I wonder if I’ll ever shake off my mistakes or if I’ll just carry them around with me forever like a bunch of red balloons.”
Awaiting trial at Archway Young Offenders Institution, Emily Koll is going to tell her side of the story for the first time.
Heart-Shaped Bruise is a compulsive and moving novel about infamy, identity and how far a person might go to seek revenge.
The ending of this book is an ending that leaves you startled, staring out into eternity, so overwhelmed over what you've just read.
I really do hope you read it, and if so, enjoy! :D
