Haunting and addictive page-turner
I loved submerging myself (watery metaphor?) in this dystopian fantasy and was really rooting for Libby right from the beginning. A great read and thoroughly recommend.

Interesting and unusual
Great episodic story covering the move from school to university - at the older end of YA.

One of best books of 2015
Written in a diary style, this is the story of Molly's exchange trip to France for a few weeks in the summer. A lovely coming-of-age story, very realistic and engaging.
