This is a moving story about grief, regret, and the support of friends. The book shifts perspectives between friends at the end of the life and then death of Charli’s chronically ill twin Freya. While the book is centred on Charli and her complex feelings towards her twin, the characters of her friends Queenie and Blair are fully realised and distinct.
This approach enables the reader to identify with a particular personality or see something from another’s point of view, helping the younger reader on their own life journey. The heavy topics discussed in this book are addressed appropriately for readers aged nine and above, and this book provides a safe place to explore, question and reflect.
