Sixteen-year-old Anna lives an ordinary, uneventful life with her workaholic mother after her father left them both years before without a single word since. However Anna's simple life is suddenly changed when she receives a letter from Edie, her father's girlfriend, telling her that he has died and she would like for them to meet. Anna isn't sure how to feel at first – she was estranged from her father but the news has still come as a shock, and so Anna agrees to meet Edie and they start up an unlikely friendship. Edie is eccentric and warm and offers Anna the companionship she lacks with her own unemotional mother, so much so that Anna manages to gather up the courage to tell Edie about the troublesome secret she has been carrying deep inside her.
If you're looking for something a little different then I definitely recommend giving ''The Yellow Room'' a go. It's well written and thoughtful contemporary fiction which I flew through easily and loved every minute of it so I'll be keeping my eye out for more of Jess Vallance's work in the future. Many thanks to the publishers for sending a copy to The Bookbag.
For further reading I'd recommend [[Birdy by Jess Vallance|Birdy]] which is her Jess Vallance's first published novel and it's just brilliant. It's darker than ''The Yellow Room'' but it's completely engrossing so I'd highly recommend checking it out.
