It's probably not quite the worst I've read this year - although it's close - but it's undoubtedly the most disappointing. Even the lack of speech marks, which seemed to fit Daisy's breathless narration in [[How I Live Now by Meg Rosoff|How I Live Now]] so perfectly, just seems affected and irritating here.
On the plus side, reading this one did encourage me to dig out [[How I Live Now by Meg Rosoff|How I Live Now]] for the first time in a couple of years, and I'm currently really enjoying rereading that one. If you're a fan of Rosoff's, I'd suggest it's a better way to spend your time than picking up this one. We liked [[There Is No Dog by Meg Rosoff]] and [[Moose Baby by Meg Rosoff]] a little better.
My favourite coming of age story of the year so far is the wonderful [[Twerp by Mark Goldblatt]].
