Goose By Dawn O'Porter

I am a huge fan of Dawn from reading her debut novel, Paper Aeroplanes when it came out originally to her regular columns she writes for Glamour magazine. She has a really open way of describing the world and the realness makes to me the appeal of reading her books and columns so great.

In Goose, we catch up with Renée and Flo once again after the events of Paper Aeroplanes (go buy it and read it!).
In this book, Flo is heavily trying to find herself through God after realising she may not be able to rely on Renée being there for her as Flo has applied to university in Nottingham, however we learn later in the book about how Renée feels around university herself. The book also features many serious issues, losing a friend, finding love or friendship, worthless relationships and drug use. Even though the book has an old time feel to it, the oissues raised still matter and will continue to matter in modern day society now and to come.

Goose was an intense read and hit home with a lot of emotions in me, a great follow up to Dawn's debut novel.
