This raging light by Estelle Laure
Orchard Books, 2015. ISBN 9781408340271
(Ages 14+) Recommended. Mild coarse language. "How is it
that one day Digby was just my best friends twin brother and then
the next he stole air, gave me jitters, and twisted my insides up?"
(Publisher). Dad's gone, mum's missing, bills to pay and there is
Wren to look after. Now in my senior year everything is happening.
There are mysterious Angels delivering gifts to the house, gifts
Wren and I greatly need and I have no clue who is giving them to us.
Digby has a girlfriend but I can't stop thinking about him or having
feelings for him.
When I started this novel it was hard. The writing style was
confusing and difficult to keep track of, but after a few chapters I
realised that is exactly what it is like inside the mind of teenage
girl's mind who is in love and in a hopeless situation and after
that it was really amazing to read. Halfway through and towards the
end it is just one big crazy roller coaster. I really wanted to know
who the 'Angels' were and wanted to know why they were helping
Lucille and Wren when Lucille hadn't told anyone other than her
friends about what was happening. At the end I was emotional but a
bit confused, but definitely a recommended book.
