"A sad, soulful novel that asks the reader to explore what it means to be human."
A YA novel! That is a hill I’ll die on! Like all the best YA fiction, an intricate world unfolds while the teenage characters are realistically preoccupied with seemingly mundane art projects, missing cassette tapes and boyfriends. Devilishly clever; right from the off, something isn’t quite right with the students at Hailsham boarding school.
By the time you realise precisely what’s going on for the poor teens, you’re in love with Kathy and her manipulative best frenemy, Ruth. A sad, soulful novel that asks the reader to explore what it means to be human.
