A review by vewokie
Charm by Cat Hellisen

4.0

I read this book in 4 days which pretty much tells you how much I enjoyed it.

Cat paints South African youth as I know it.
Irene annoyed me a little because she was so hard up in love with Rain but I could relate because at her age, I was like that too.

The only reason I gave Charm a 4 star review was because of the ending. I really wanted more. It left me with so many things I wanted to know more about. I want to know more about Irene's mom and what happens in the future!

I loved everything about this book. The imagery and scenes and characters. It is truly a great story.
There's a great amount of action and magic in this book.

I really loved that one of the main characters was a homosexual. Not enough books have this diversity with their characters. Real life isn't always just straight people going about life or who fall in love with regular/straight people (though this book is NOT a romance novel.) I just enjoyed this quality.
