Suited for older teenagers"Entangled" deals with sex, teenage pregnancy, self-mutilation and attempted suicide. The story begins when Grace finds herself in a white room with a bed, table, paper and pens How she arrived there, she has no idea. Gradually, Grace begins to write about her past and the events that led her to where she is. I couldn't really take to Grace. I found her irritating, self-centered and superficial. Her best friend, Sal, and boyfriend, Nat, weren't much better. The only person I really liked was Sophie but she didn't have a starring role in the story. The mystery of the white room made the book tolerable but it's certainly not one I'll be reading again any time soon. I can tell you this, Cat Clarke's voice is very compelling, very powerful and strong. The only reason I gave this book a lower rating is predictability of the plot. Once you figure everything out, the book drags and drags until finally! you have that big revelation in the end. However, you can feel Grace, you live in her skin and you understand emotional turmoil this girl has lived in since her dad died. She is damaged, traumatised and the only way for her to release all these complex overpowering emotions inside her is to cut herself and to keep the facade of reckless debauchery everyone else sees in her. All the teenage traits are here - the endless drama, extreme intensity and belief that nothing is ever going to happen to you, that inner hope that you are immortal. I actually loved Grace's voice and her take on the world. Again, I have to admire the darkness and grittiness of British YA fiction. It seems to be right into your face, no smooth corners, no quarter given, - and I love that everything is so out in the open, so rough. If you like this, read Tom Pollock, Rachel Ward and C.J.Daugherty. Recommended. Warning: This book may be a trigger for cutting. When Grace wakes up in an all white room all alone with only paper and pens at her disposal, she has no choice but to write. Write about her strange existence in the room. Write about the elusive Ethan who is apparently keeping her captive. Write about the events that led her to her current existence. But in writing, Grace might just discover truths that will shatter the illusions of that white room. Not a bad novel but it didn't blow my socks off like I'd hoped based on reviews I'd seen of it elsewhere. Grace isn't an easy character to like; she's often superficial and self-centred. But the slow unfolding of the events happening in the white room and in her life previous to waking up in the room were compelling enough to keep me reading, even though none of the twists ever caught me off guard. The novel is also noteworthy for it's realistic treatment of the mindset of a cutter. A fast read but not one I'd recommend racing out to find. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
