Callie lives a quiet life, with a menial job, whereas Tilda craves the spotlight, and is a moderately successful actress. Callie is awkward, suffering from a lifetime of acne, weight issues and comparing herself to her sister and her beautiful white body. Callie has very strong feelings for her sister, envy, admiration, anger, love, and Tilda laps all of these feelings up. They are grown, and see each other with relative frequency. But now Tilda has met a new man, Felix. He's smart, charismatic, successful and very intense, very particular. At first Callie loves him, loves the way he includes her in their relationship, but after a boating trip, fun turns into something more sinister, Callie begins to worry about this dynamic, to obsess ...[[White Bodies by Jane Robins|Full Review]]|amazonuk=<amazonukbr>0008217548 </amazonuk!-- Vaughan -->}}{{newreview[[image:Vaughan Scandal.jpg|left|authorlink=Sarah Vaughanhttps://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/1471164993?ie=UTF8&tag=thebookbag-21&linkCode=as2&camp=1634&creative=6738&creativeASIN=1471164993]] |title===[[Anatomy of a Scandal|ratingby Sarah Vaughan]]===5 [[image:5star.jpg|genrelink=Category:{{{rating}}} Star Reviews]] [[:Category:General Fiction|General Fiction]] |summary=Sophie had been married to James for twelve years and two children: to be honest she was more than a little bit in awe of him. James Whitehouse was an MP and junior minister: perhaps most importantly he was a friend of the prime minister, so when he had to admit that he'd been having an affair he was confident that some contrition, a public admission that he'd been wrong, that he was not perfect, would soon have his career back on track. And it seemed as though that was the way it was going, until a friend of the 'other woman', parliamentary researcher Olivia Lytton, persuaded her to go to the police. There was no dispute that the relationship had been consensual, but after James had finished the affair there was an incident in a lift in House of Commons and the police and the Crown Prosecution Service were both of the opinion that this amounted to rape. The prosecuting counsel is Kate Woodcroft and she's very determined that Whitehouse is going to be brought to book.|amazonuk=[[Anatomy of a Scandal by Sarah Vaughan|Full Review]]<amazonukbr>1471164993 </amazonuk!-- Holland -->}}{{newreview[[image:Holland Everless.jpg|title=Everlessleft|authorlink=Sara Hollandhttps://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/1408349159?ie=UTF8&tag=thebookbag-21&linkCode=as2&camp=1634&creative=6738&creativeASIN=1408349159]]|rating=4|genre=Teens|summary==[[Everless by Sara Holland]]=== [[image:4star.jpg|link=Category:{{{rating}}} Star Reviews]] [[:Category:Teens|Teens]] Jules and her father live in the kingdom of Sempera. In Sempera, everything is reckoned in terms of time. Wages come in the form of blood-coins, currency taken from actual blood and denominated in weeks, months or even years of life. In Sempera, as you'd imagine, the rich live for a long time and the poor do not. In debt and struggling to afford the rent, Jules decides to ignore her father's warnings and take a job at Everless, an estate belonging to the Gerling family. But Jules's father objects for a reason: there is a royal wedding coming up, between Lord Roan Gerling and a ward of Sempera's queen, and secrets long concealed that, if revealed, would change everything...[[Everless by Sara Holland|Full Review]]|amazonuk=<amazonukbr>1408349159 </amazonuk!-- Ingemundsen -->}}{{newreview[[image:Ingemundsen_Human.jpg|author=Linni Ingemundsenleft|titlelink=https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/1474940633?ie=UTF8&tag=thebookbag-21&linkCode=as2&camp=1634&creative=6738&creativeASIN=1474940633]] ===[[The Unpredictability of Being Human|ratingby Linni Ingemundsen]]===5 [[image:5star.jpg|genrelink=Category:{{{rating}}} Star Reviews]] [[:Category:Teens|Teens]] |summary=I came to this book expecting only a typical teenage coming of age story, yet somehow, within only a matter of pages, I was utterly engrossed by the wonderful character of Malin. I read this book faster than any other I've read this year! Malin is a fourteen year old girl, who is very naive and innocent, and she struggles with social interaction. It is never stated within the book (a fact that I liked) but I suspect that she's somewhere on the autistic spectrum. But that isn't really what the book is about. It's about Malin growing up, struggling at school, having a first date, and dealing with family difficulties, all at the same time.|amazonuk=<amazonuk>1474940633[[The Unpredictability of Being Human by Linni Ingemundsen|Full Review]]</amazonukbr>}}{{newreview <!-- remove 10/1 Norris -->[[image:Norris_Mike.jpg|author=Jnr Rademeyerleft|titlelink=Hero From Another Planet|rating=3|genrehttps://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/1788450094?ie=UTF8&tag=thebookbag-21&linkCode=as2&camp=1634&creative=6738&creativeASIN=Confident Readers1788450094]] |summary=Jason Bronkurts is the kid the teachers like: he's always on time and puts his school work first==[[Mike by Andrew Norriss]]=== [[image:5star.
