Crazy in love
Another over dramatic teen romance break up book right? Erm, no. There are a lot of those out there, raging hormones, ‘firsts’ and the microscope of High School always seem to attract the overdramatic but Cried In Public was not one of those. Cried In Public explores what happens when love hurts but for all the wrong reasons. There are a lot of triggers in this book so please approach with caution and to be honest whilst I think it’s important my 13 year old daughter reads it one day, I’m not passing it to her to read just now. It’s brilliant that Bourne has tackled a subject that really, adult fiction hasn’t always acknowledged. Great to see counseling used as a positive solution that even the gruff northern bloke (Dad) can accept. Just go into it aware that it isn’t a light hearted read and that sometimes it can be so much worse than a broken heart.
