This book is one of the most captivating and beautifully
crafted stories I have read in a very long time. Sat on a bench overlooking
Plymouth, in the middle of a deer park, I delved into the rich world of Cadence
Sinclair and her pretentious family. We Were Liars is a crafty, cunning and
brutal story following the fragmented life of Cadence. With Cady, we attempt to
piece together the summer she has lost from memory and discover the truth
behind her accident.

Review of Gone With the Wind - Margaret Mitchell
Margaret Mitchell invites us into the dramatic and scary
world of Scarlett O’Hara during the American Civil War and Reconstruction era.
Within the first few pages it becomes apparent that Miss O’Hara will not fit the norms of most protagonists, as her selfish, vain and spoilt nature pours out of the book. Although these characteristics are clear throughout the novel, her loyalty towards Tara cannot be overlooked.
Her strength and independence shocks society as she develops her own way of getting by and making money for herself – foreshadowing the development of the position of women within society.

My First Letter
Although I have stressed the importance of taking every opportunity to make other people happy you also need to ensure that you stay happy. Do things that feed your soul and make you feel alive. Your sincere smile will improve many days without you knowing.
Smile always,
O x

Hello,
I am 19 years old and currently on my Gap Year. Most people would associate a Gap Year with travelling far and wide and having the time of your life. This is not, however, what mine entails - my aim is to spread happiness through my love of words.
