The stunning cover is absolutely eye-catching with it's beautiful colours and details. It is perfectly chosen for the story behind it and shows an actual scene of the book.
The author's writing style is simply amazing. She writes in such a spellbinding and thrilling way that I could barely lay the book down. I absolutely love it!
Yes, I nearly burnt the food again...
The True Colour Of Forever reminds the reader of the really important things in life - the people around you. It brought tears to my eyes more than once. There are so many emotions bundled up in this story, it left me as an emotional mess. I could actually feel every single thing the characters supposed to feel. It felt like I was standing right next to them, seeing through their eyes.
The expressive characters are actually teenagers, who show a massive amount of courage.
The protagonist Sadie is a normal teenager with your typical teenie issues during Summer holidays. Though, that's not everything. She has courage, is kind, a bit shy, loving, and cares a lot for others. She always thinks that there is nothing special about herself but in these days - sadly - it is a special character trait, if you choose kindness over looking away.
I really like all the characters in this story but I will carry Sadie forever in my heart.
In my opinion, the author sent a very important message with this story: 'If you see something, say something!' as well as 'choose kindness'. What she obviously also wants to tell you with this book is: Don't look away, if someone needs your help.
I can absolutely recommend this book to everyone as it will always be an all-time-favourite of mine. It is a must in every bookshelf!
