A surprisingly sweet, beautiful and compelling YA contemporary about secrets, choices, greed, selfishness, honesty, family and building bridges set against a backdrop of abuse and neglect. I absolutely did not think a book about a pyromaniac could have me sympathising with the protagonist, but Jenny Valentine managed the impossible with incredible skill. It is a relatively short story, but remarkably detailed, unique and vibrant. The melancholic tone, almost lyrical writing, emotional depth and richly imagined characters weave a poignant and powerful story that will undoubtedly become a favourite for fans of contemporaries, especially those with a love of art.
