BOOK REVIEW
Girl Saves Boy
- By Steph Bowe
-Published in 2010 by: "The Text Publishing Company"
"Girl Saves Boy" is a astonishing novel about a girl called Jewel, who has a few troubles, and a boy called Sacha with a terminal disease. But from the moment that this girl saves that boy, life means something different for the each of them, something funny and sad and always unexpected, not too far away from falling in love... A book that fills your heart to the brim and takes your breath away. HIGHLY recommended.
