Entangled by Cat Clarke

I recently remembered I owned this book and when I reread it I remembered why I binge read this book  the first time round. Grace was just woken up in a white room in a place she doesn't know. The last thing she remembers is talking to a boy called Ethan. Just as she begins to panic, Ethan walks in and changes everything. She must have been kidnapped and she whiles away the hours by writing down the events of the last three months. She writes about her friend Sal and a boy she met at the bus stop called Nat. When their three worlds combine there are mind blowing consequences none of them could have predicted. As her story goes on you join Grace in realising what really happened. As she is writing Ethan checks up on her and more and more. This makes Grace think he isn't the kidnapper she first thought he was.

I loved this book because it had a bit of everything in it. A classic romance, a funny best friend, a confusing mystery and a charismatic narrator. This combination meant every twist and turn of the plot kept me guessing and laughing. I think I wouldn't have loved the book the way I did if it wasn't for the main character. Grace genuinely seemed like someone you would want to have as a friend. She also seemed very real, she had problems and off days like everyone else. Sometimes she said thinks she didn't mean, her life wasn't perfect. A perfect life is what many people turn to books to see but in the end nobodys perfect. This very real element made the events of the book more striking and moving. There is a huge plot twist at the end which I wasn't expecting and really made me rethink the whole book! So watch out, everything you think might be about to change.
