I
haven’t had a very good Easter holiday. It's hard to hop about like a happy
bunny when the boy you like has started seeing someone else. And while we’re on
the subject, why is it always the wrong boy who ends up confessing his undying
love to you? Talk about awkward.
My
BFF is being weird and refusing to come on the French Exchange – when she
should know that this is exactly when I need her the most. Mrs RamsBOTTOM is
trying to sabotage my plans to be prefect, my arch nemesis Icky is still intent
on ruining my life and I’m pretty sure exams shoed. I'm going to have to work
pretty hard if I want to spend several hours a day lounging about, eating
biscuits…
I completely love Faith so I got
very excited when a copy of her third adventure, Leap of Faith, dropped through my letterbox and I read it within
two days of receiving it.
Within a few pages I was thrown
back into the chaos of Faith’s life, her madcap friends and hilarious
misadventures and I couldn’t help but think again how much she reminds me of
Georgia Nicolson in her earlier diaries. I found myself laughing aloud so many
times when I was reading that I started earning very worried looks from my
sister and the cat…
There’s not a single character in
Leap of Faith that I didn’t love
completely. Faith, Megs, Westy, Ethan, Angharad, Lily, Josette – all of ‘em. I loved
the focus on friendship, particularly navigating hiccups those friendships. It
was all handled realistically with the heart of the characters kept intact. This
really extended into Harper’s portrayal of Faith’s family. I love how present
and fully-formed they are; they’re not just accessories to Faith, they’re part
of the story too.
A huge part of the Leap of Faith was the many ups, downs
and near misses with Ethan. They’re just so perfect together that I was on the
verge of jumping up and down shouting ‘KISS!’ for most of the novel. They share
a sense of humour, approach life with the same sense of trouble and they just
have a genuine connection! There were lots of warm fuzzies in this book.
I completely loved Leap of Faith and I really hope there’s
more from Faith as I really felt like this was an ending…
Thanks to S&S for the review
copy.
