Mel by Liz Berry

donnaadouglas's review against another edition

4.0

I loved this book when I was a teenager. On the surface it is a teen romance, but it goes beyond that, dealing with issues such as growing up with an unstable parent, learning to be independant, and dealing with emotional problems and self-harm.
A great novel for teenagers, with a good message.

I read this book years ago. It was a lot of fun- not particularly amazing but a good, decently written book about a girl coming to terms with her mother and her life, then deciding where her future is going.

An old favourite that stood up to the test of time. It's not perfect but still very readable and Mel remains a great heroine, with a wonderful journey to both self-determination and learning to rely on others.

This book is just really good. It's technically a "teen" novel, but the themes are very adult. There are a few sappy bits, but the book is really about remaking yourself as your remake your environment. Highly recommended!
