Books like Tell Me No Lies

This was much different from Malorie Blackman’s usual books. I found it really interesting and while it was slightly strange at points, it was quite sweet overall. It was also interesting to see how Gemma and Mike’s stories and hardships linked and combined.I personally thought Gemma’s character was quite sweet and in her own world in most of the book but particularly the beginning. While she was quite distant from everyone, it wasn’t what she wanted and she wanted a better life Despite Mike’s grandparents seeming old fashioned and disrespectful, I felt bad for the way Mike treated them and it felt like he was being quite unappreciative until they started to reveal more about his mum’s case and what went on that he didn’t know about.
