Room Empty by Sarah Mussi

What a stunning book this has been to read.
Personally, as a sufferer of issues of many kinds, I can relate to many points in this book.

The story is set in a mostly government funded treatment center in Berkshire. The resident we focus around is Dani who seventeen, lived in care all her life and whom is anorexic. She has just found her friend, Carmen, dead by suicide and she found her. Her other friend, Fletcher is a drug addict and insists on being there for Dani and wants her to be there for him through his stay too.

She also has the alien, who insists on supporting her which is inside her head and is the more irrational, impulsive, emotional side of her. This side of her comes to light most often after she starts to remember being locked in a room with the dead body.

There is a great mystery to be solved within this novel as well as the turbulent yet loving relationship that builds and grows between Fletcher and Dani. I have to say as Dani's memories start to come back stronger in flashbacks to her, the fast paced and emotional ending to the book leaves me full of hope for Dani and Fletch.

I really recommend this book, thanks to the publishers allowing me to review Sarah's new book and make sure you read this one. A top pick of mine for 2017!
