WISHBONES | Virginia MacGregor



◮ Be brave, I tell myself. If you’re going to take this resolution seriously, if you’re going to have everything in place for when Mum wakes up, you have to be proactive. 

Oggi prima recensione in inglese 😶😖 spero vada bene.
Comunque ho deciso di provare a scrivere una recensione in inglese, per vedere un attimo come va.

Disclaimer: nonostante io capisca benissimo l'inglese scritto, faccio -molta- più fatica a scriverlo. Siate buoni.

Hi there 
Today I'll try to write a review in English. I hope it won't be that bad.
Disclaimer: although I can perfectly understand written English, I struggle at writing. Please be patient

~My Wandering Thoughts ~

I don't know where to start, actually.
The cover is really simple, in a minimal way but I really like it in its colors and little wishbones near the white feather.
This book is peculiar but in a good way, because it's like anything I've ever read. 
The story is told from Feather's point of view. She is a little girl that dreams of winning the UK Junior Butterfly Swimming Championship and - after her mum's fit during New Year's Eve - make her mum lose weight so to get her healthy again.
