''Whispers Through A Megaphone'' is a real slow-burn of a book and if you like complex characters, then this is definitely one for you. I’m not going to tell you a single thing more about the story, because you should read it yourself and perhaps you too will find yourself in a reflective frame of mind. Maybe you will delete your Social Media accounts and maybe you won’t. But I bet you look at that incessant stream differently afterwards.
Rachel Elliott’s debut may very well be up your alley and if you think it is, you might also like to take a look at [[Hilary and David by Laura Solomon]] because we very much enjoyed it here at Bookbag. Perhaps you don’t ''do'' Social Media at all or have found it all too ugly for your liking, in which case you really ought to read [[You Don’t Don't Know Me by Sophia Bennett]], as whilst it is technically a Young Adult novel, I think every parent ought to read it, since it covers media manipulation, cyber-bullying, body image, romance, friendship, making choices and doing it all with incredible heart and a wonderful cast of characters.
Finally our huge thanks to the kind folks at One for sending us this copy for review – you certainly have a winner on your hands here!
