Friday Recommends #9

Friday Recommends is a weekly meme hosted by Dani at Pen To Paper.  This is where we list a book we would highly recommend. 

I'm quite excited about this new feature as one of the things I love is being able to share the news about a great book.  We've all been there!  After reading a fab book you want to shout out to the world how great it is.


The rules for Friday Recommends are:

• Follow Pen to Paper as host of the meme.
• Please consider adding the blog hop button to your blog somewhere, so others can find it easily and join in too! Help spread the word! The code will be at the bottom of the post under the linky.
• Pick a book that you've read, and have enjoyed enough to recommend to other readers. It can be a book you've read recently, or a book you read years ago - it's up to you - but make sure you tell us why you love the book (like a mini review). You make the post as long or as short as you like.
• Add your blog to the linky at the bottom of this post after posting your blog post.
• Put a link back to pen to paper (http://www.pentopaperblog.com) somewhere in your post.
• Visit the other blogs and enjoy!

My choice this week is:

 The Ice Cream Girls by Dorothy Koomson

Goodreads Synopsis:

As teenagers Poppy Carlisle and Serena Gorringe were the only witnesses to a tragic event. Amid heated public debate, the two seemingly glamorous teens were dubbed ‘The Ice Cream Girls’ by the press and were dealt with by the courts.

Years later, having led very different lives, Poppy is keen to set the record straight about what really happened, while married mother-of-two Serena wants no one in her present to find out about her past. But some secrets will not stay buried – and if theirs is revealed, everything will become a living hell all over again..

I'm going to recommend this book as it really made an impact on me.  I read this just over a year ago.  One of my good booskish friends highly recommended it, I totally trust their judgment and couldn't wait to get my hands on a copy.  I found The Ice Cream Girls to be an excellent and gripping story. Really well written and full of emotion. I really really enjoyed this book.  I have managed to read a couple more of Dorothy Koomson's books, but this one has been my favourite one by far.  I rated it 5/5.
