Second Chance by Jane Green- a review by Hollie W., a Y8 from Sawtry


Holly Macintosh has two children, Daisy and Oliver. Her husband Marcus is hardly ever there. He is a divorce lawyer and doesn't really bond with his children.


It is all a big shock when Holly's best friend from school, Tom, dies during a train bombing. The tragic event brings the friends to reunite from school. On the surface all the friends are happy, but dig a little deeper and it's not so straightforward. Will Saffron survive the press? Will Holly and Marcus stay together? Will Paul and Anna have a baby? Will will get it together?


I think this is quite a mature read- there is often a bit of swearing. I would recommend it to young adults.



BEWARE- once you pick it up you will not want to put it down!!
