The Girl Who Cried Wolf is an impressive piece of work- and I speak (or write) as someone who doesn't normally read the kind of book that might exist pigeonholed as "angsty YA" were it not for the superior writing and gritty but empathic manner of author Bella James.I ever say that a volume lives or dies by its characters- and this is certainly grapheme-driven. It's not just possible to feel for the fate of primary grapheme Anna Winters- it'south almost mandatory. The story pulls you in, the character is well-rounded, multi-faceted and presently becomes someone whose life the reader cares virtually- quite intensely in fact. That'south no mean feat. There are so many books where characters are secondary to ome convolted plot, or worse yet, just secondary in general- wooden and i-dimensional, a cabal of cliches and sterotypes. Bella James has the skill to avoid such horrors and does and then with brio.
Definitely i to pick up even if the genre isn't normally what you lot might read. Impressive.

I beloved Anna brassy, careless and often obnoxious mental attitude considering information technology makes her existent and if not likeable, she is definitely an angry rebellious teenager I can empathise and relate to. I loved the difficult relationship with her mother and the cathartic development of their connection.
A highly recommended novel that I remember will brand a great movie!
The book is well written although I wasn't particularly fond of Anna's graphic symbol. Rebellious teenager is i thing merely I felt she was but selfish and oblivious of anyone else's feelings, although there are moments when she can be quite funny. Having said that I constitute myself totally hooked on this story. I really needed to know what was going to happen to her. I'yard hoping there will be a sequel to this equally I feel Anna and Michael'south story isn't over yet, there'south the potential for much more. ...more

I was given a copy of this book from Accent YA in exchange for an honest review.I loved this book from start to finish! The master character, Anna was spoilt, obnoxious and a correct hurting in the backside but it was such a joy to read her journey and share her "ups" and "downs" with her illness and falling in love with the handsome Michael. The human relationship with her mother was difficult to assimilate due to Anna being such a cow towards her, but when you find out the reason why Anna's female parent has been and then distant all these years, you understand a mother'due south truthful dear for her daughter.
I institute the footstep of the storyline very piece of cake going and witty. Anna behaved like such a "madam" but in the end her journey through her affliction opened upwardly her eyes to what really counts in life.
I enjoyed the human relationship between Anna and Michael and was glad that he didn't give up on her by pushing Anna to show what true beloved looks and feels like . However, I was a bit disappointed that Anna didn't find out more about her male parent'southward violent and negative attitude towards her mother in order to face up him almost it.
Overall, a wonderful book about life, love, life-changing decisions and what counts in life.
A definite 5 out of 5 stars!

Hmm. I'm on the fence most this i.The Girl Who Cried Wolf follows Anna, a 17 twelvemonth old girl in sixth class, who likes to take sick-days from school so she can go out drinking with her friend Jules. For Anna, that's all that really matters. Until, after one too many sick days, and too many crazy explanations, she'south called into a meeting with a dr. who runs a few tests and announces that Anna may accept cancer.
It turns out Anna has a brain tumour, and whilst receiving treatment, she meets boyfriend patient Michael. Cue love story. We follow the ups and downs of Anna's handling and how the relationships she has with her friends and family change.
Then going into this, I had The Mistake in Our Stars vibes and I was certain this wouldn't have a happy ending. Spoiler alert: (view spoiler)[it does and no one dies (hibernate spoiler)]. I didn't warm to Anna as much as I think I was supposed to. She was rude and aggressive in the beginning for no reason, and every time I started to feel for her, she would do something that would remind me that she'due south not a likeable person. (view spoiler)[The whole story about Anna bullying the bullheaded girl at schoolhouse, but considering, was horrific. It made me feel sick to my stomach (hibernate spoiler)].
Overall, information technology was an okay story only peradventure it wasn't for me.

I was struck initially past the vocalism in this volume.

Rating: iii.75/v starsI was struck initially past the voice in this volume. It was so well-established, and although the character of Anna is the hallmark of an unsympathetic graphic symbol (frankly, she'due south a bit of a bitch), you don't want her to die. You get through the whole book wishing for her to live, which I attribute to the author's talent at making unlikeable characters likable.
Her romance with fellow patient Michael does give you The Fault in Our Stars vibes, but that's about where the similarities end. In fact, I effigy those that loved The Things We Larn When We're Dead past Charlie Laidlaw (which I loved) will besides like this book. It likewise deals with dying and a chance at redemption.
Anna's journey to The Sphere, or that magical place of limbo between living and dying gave her an insight into her past mistakes and the plight of others that she never gave another thought to.
I loved the idea that even a nasty bitch can redeem herself and learn from her mistakes, because in this globe, it is and then easy to get caught up in someone'southward past and not see that they can alter (of course, if they don't repent or take responsibility, that's a different story). But Anna was truly remorseful, and she wasn't perfect by any ways, merely she was constantly trying and I believe that is a start.
This book also deals with family abuse and postpartum depression, which is something I rarely see covered without making them issue-books. That might exist a trigger for some people, so be enlightened of it if you choose to read this book.
I was a niggling dislocated after Anna gets out of her limbo, because at times information technology seems like she's forgotten some of what she learned and remembers other things clearly, which may have been intentional of the author.
All in all, I enjoyed reading this book. It'south a quick one y'all can go out in one sitting, but that doesn't mean information technology doesn't pack a heavy dial. It deals with learning to love fearlessly, and living your life the best you lot can, because you never know when it'south going to exist cut curt.

*I received this volume from the publisher, Accent Press Books, in exchange for an honest review as part of the novel'southward ceremony blog bout. I received no compensation for this review and the opinions expressed are in no fashion influenced by this transaction.*
Anna Winters lives a reckless life of partying and shirking responsibilities, driven into farther acting out by her acrimony and her hatred for her mother. Only when she'south diagnosed with brain cancer and meets fellow cancer patient Michael, Anna is terrified and must face her own demons before it's also late. She must learn to believe in something before she loses Michael, her family, or even herself.
Anna Winters is complicated. Her eye is full of so much love and so much hate at the same time, every action and word is like a puzzle. While she can be vindictive and defensive, she tin can as well exist loving and helpful and kind. She is a child pushed into the darkest moments of life and lacks the noesis, the experience, and perception to handle it. Michael, on the other hand, is calm equally water, and deeply in love with this volatile Anna.
The two of them captured me. Anna drew me in on the very offset folio, and I consumed this novel. I could non put it downward, and was sneaking in bits and pieces during the work day. Without revealing too much, James beautifully discusses decease and fright and reckoning in a way that sent chills down my spine and tears from my eyes. And the beast lover in me cried for loving Marley.
The Girl Who Cried Wolf is a very short novel, albeit most likewise short. I would've loved to gotten to know Michael more deeply and to see their dearest story more in item. But I loved every infinitesimal of this novel, and will definitely be returning to Bella James for more.

What an incredible read. I really went in with sure misgivings because I thought it would be cliche, but after reading it, I was enthralled with the whole story.
So much happening, only I was never overwhelmed. Such a slap-up read!!
Anna is bully and far from charming, only her night sense of humor made me love her and cried with her.
Her love story with Michael is so touching and is then worth to read this book.
About to commencement the adjacent book!
Michael I wish that we got to see a fiddling more than virtually him and his illness and his recovery as little is mentioned about information technology apart from the obvious. He is a calming gentle boy that sees past Anna'southward angry persona and they fall in love. But Anna fifty-fifty as they get romantically involved still has the attitude that everything is all about her and when a miracle happens she is still every bit angry and nasty as ever. I really found information technology hard to feel sorry for her as she is e'er so ungrateful nigh everything even the fact that she is live later on going through all that she does all the same doesn't stop her existence a diva through and through.
Equally with all skillful stories there are always skeletons lurking in the closet or hidden secrets that will change all the things that you lot idea y'all knew nearly the characters, so when Anna has a bit of an out of body experience you become a glimpse of things that will explain why Anna and her family are equally dysfunctional equally they are.
Once I started reading this story I just couldnt put this book down till Id finished it and got to the exceptionally wonderful ending. It left me wanting more merely happy at the same time. This book deserves every ane of it'due south 5 stars!

I liked it very much
This is the story of Anna, who is a reallz aroused girl, e'er missing school and coming up with planty of reasons. Instead she much rather gets boozer and shies abroad from any responsibilty. She never really worried
I really wanted to love this book. From the blurb I fully expected this to break me and read like the fault in our stars, merely that didnt happen for me. While the raw story is a expert one and should suspension your middle, in truth I failed to really connect with this story and its characters.This is the story of Anna, who is a reallz angry girl, e'er missing schoolhouse and coming up with planty of reasons. Instead she much rather gets drunkard and shies away from any responsibilty. She never really worried about her headaches, thinking those could exist the result of hangovers and lack of sleep. But when she is forced to have a medical check upwards she gets the worsed possible news, its cancer. During the infirmary stay she falls for a boy in recovery.
I am just really unsure if I liked Anna or not. She is always so angry. fifty-fifty when she is faced with something good and happy she nonetheless moans and turns information technology into a negative. And while i unserstand she is going through the nearly horrible fourth dimension in her life I failed to encounter her progress in her behaviour.
I enjoyed the story of her family. The struggle her mother went through was heartbreaking. Anna's sister was a favourite of mine. Merely information technology didnt save the story for me.
What disspointed me the virtually was that even the story between Anna and Michael wasnt very heartwarming. He felt almost like an afterthought to the story and I literally failed to see the moment when they fell in dear. He was simply suddenly at that place.
If I could have emotionally attach myself to the characters and the story this would accept been wonderful. Instead it felt like a listing of events, time passing to fast and switching from i large event to another.
Honestly I am gutted. I did manage to finish this book, which means I honesty didnt hate it merely I didnt love it. Such a shame too.
Its worth noting the copy I have received wasnt the final edit and that maybe some things volition come accross in a slightly ameliorate light once its finished.
Give thanks you to Accent Printing for my copy of this book.

Anna is that teenage girl we've all known or been. Quite bluntly she isn't very nice. She's disrespectful to her mother, skives off school, indifferent about her friends, horrid to her lovely little sister and generally aroused. I didn't like her at starting time, and neither volition you, only that's ok – I don't think nosotros're meant to. In fact Anna doesn't like herself much either.And things simply get worse when she discovers she has cancer.
They say life works in mysterious way, and for Anna having her life taken away from her is the awakening she needs to make her realise just how precious life is…and what she needs to do to come back fighting.
This book is much more than just a honey story, it's a modern mean solar day fable which has everything yous desire from a YA romance. Coming of age teen? Bank check. An unlikely love story? Check. An interesting family dynamic? Check. Only wait, at that place's more. There'south a poignancy I wasn't expecting coupled with plenty of comic timing and some great lines. Bella James has that rare ability of making a story light and current; skimming the surface of frivolity while withal giving her readers a depth that makes them stop, flick back the pages, and re-read the shiny nuggets of brilliance hiding amid the fun.
This volume volition brand you think, and so think again. Young girls will totally 'get' 'The Daughter Who Cried Wolf' and hopefully have heed of the bulletin, whereas older YA fans will read it and wish they had read information technology xx years previously.
Protagonists Anna and Michael are not characters you lot forget in a hurry. Yous will whizz through the story, considering whizz you volition, wanting to stop as quickly every bit you tin can…while hoping it never ends. And it hasn't concluded yet as I found out James is bringing out a sequel - 'The Hunger Moon'. Tin't await!

There are some things that could be improved. For case, the two protagonists are a bit likewise farthermost: Anna is a total bitch and Michael is so good he'southward in line for a sa I wasn't going to give this 5 stars considering I really dislike the heroine. Then I thought that would be a flake like saying you don't rate 'The Merchant of Venice' because you don't like Shylock (not that Bella James would compare herself to Shakespeare, I'thousand certain). Then I gave it the total v because information technology'south well plotted and well written.
There are some things that could be improved. For case, the two protagonists are a bit too farthermost: Anna is a total bitch and Michael is so good he'southward in line for a sainthood. Information technology would be good to have both presented with a chip more subtlety. And Anna'southward dad turns from being the Archangel Michael (in Anna's and the reader'due south view) to becoming Satan himself in a few pages. Only hey, information technology's a really proficient read and keeps you gripped. And Anna'south female parent is subtly presented (or rather the relationship between her and her daughter is) - I found very moving the way we (and Anna) discover what this poor woman has put up with and what she's really like. When she finally grows a spine and kicks her husband out I actually cheered for her!
The dream sequence when Anna is nether anaesthetic is extremely well washed (a fleck long? perchance) and I dear the way it lights up her relationships and explains (in part) why she is the way she is. There is also some intriguing symbolism.
I tiny gripe, which is non the author's fault. In that location are a number of glitches that the editors should have spotted and dealt with. This is a grumpy erstwhile English language teacher speaking, and it'south non enough to spoil the enjoyment of the volume, but a talented writer like Bella James deserves better. ...more
