Not Forever:
I was so excited when I seen Not Forever by Alex on my shelf! So much thanks for the opportunity to read this book! I thought the story was great. The characters were amazing and well drawn.
“I was gripped by it from page one right through to the end. The young girl’s voice was compelling and authentic and the grim, claustrophobic atmosphere was really powerful.”
“A haunting but gripping novel; I was completely absorbed by this book from the beginning and finished it in two sittings. It deals with incredibly sensitive topics, and in doing so vividly depicts what traumatic events some children experience.”
“This is a hair raising story of child abuse, as told by the victim. It may be fiction but the author challenges the reader to recognise that this is reality for some children.
The tale that unfolds, while so real and upsetting, also reveals a resilience in Molly, our “heroine”, that is ultimately uplifting.”
“Not a comfortable read but a book you cannot put down. It made me think of “Cathy Come Home” a 60’s film that had an effect on myself and a lot of people I knew.”
“I read a lot of books so I am being completely truthful when I say I thought it was superb”
