Sara Carter wants to be famous. She wants to be remembered. How, why and for what is by-the-bye. She just wants to be famous. And with her innate sense of the dramatic and impeccable timing, no one who knows her would be in the least bit surprised to see Sara hit the headlines. However, underneath the obsession with celebrity Sara is brittle, fragile; struggling with self-image and identity, it seems possible that she is hovering on the edge of a personality disorder.
My thanks to the good people at Puffin for sending the book.
Those who enjoy a thoughtful exploration of identity might also enjoy [[Being]] by Kevin Brooks, which looks at what it is to be human in a novel reminiscent of Bladerunneror [[She, Myself and I by Emma Young]]. Melvin Burgess enjoyed [[Student by David Belbin]].
