Sad. Confusing. Heartbreaking. Shocking. Emotional. Perfect.

It has lot of swearing, drinking, self-harming and sex (including teen pregnancy and abortion).

The story is told from a first person point of view from Grace. She is in self destruct mode. She has so many emotions that she just doesn't know how to deal with and this shows in the way she acts. In many ways she comes across as a normal teen - she seems friendly and outgoing and is doing well at school, but this is just a front that she p More...

OH FINALLY!!

I can't even explain how satisfied I'm right now! In last couple of weeks I've read mostly average book but this one is everything but average!
Right now all feelings are mixed inside of me, this books simply left me speechless!

From the beginning I had some feeling that one thing will happen (view spoiler)[ some kind of relationship between Nat and Sal (hide spoiler)] but hell how much I wanted to be wrong! Why? Just why? How could you? I was so close to throwing my phone out of the window!

Just, for god's sake p More...

shit that was a good book. some people have shelved it under paranormal, but i don't think it is. i think that part is just all in her head (view spoiler)[although i did like Ethan. He was just her subconscious right? (hide spoiler)]. so that is one of the best realistic fiction books i've ever read. oh, and the cover is awesome too.

Right at the start, I knew this book wasn't going to be slow. Grace wakes up in a white room. an asylum-white room. an i'm-going-to-go-insane-because-everything-in-here-is-white kind of room. All More...

I don't normally like these kinds of YA books but this one grabbed me and completely sucked me in. It's really quite well told and moves along nicely.

Grace isn't really my kind of girl... she gets drunk pretty much every night of the week, throws up, constant hangovers, lots of boys and sleeping around, swearing, drama left, right and centre, etc. etc. But underneath there's this incredible pain and hurt that's just so tangible and almost leaps off the page that my heart literally hurt for her. More...

I really like this book, more than I thought I would. I liked the beginning because it was mysterious and that kept me reading it. I just couldn’t stop, because I was so interested who's Ethan, how did she got there, and her telling about her past. I liked it was all so linked together.
I didn't really liked Grace at first, as a character she didn't seem all that depressed/suicidal, and then her jokes, she avoids problems.. But then I started to like her, because I've got to know her better; tha More...

This book. Ugh. Where do I start?

First off, I very strongly dislike Grace, the narrator. I didn't really like her at the beginning (she whined too much for my taste), and it got worse as the story went on. I just don't understand how anyone could think she's a likeable character. I know teenagers can be mean and fickle, and I can forgive some selfishness and defensiveness, but this goes way beyond that. She's condescending, rash and tries to balance her insecurities by making other people feel More...

Wonderful book. Really thought-provoking and deals with so many issues; cutting, pregnancy, relationships, suicide. Sounds depressing, right? Wrong. Grace's voice is truly fascinating... She is funny and honest and at times I wanted to strangle her for being so naive. But she was realistically contradictory.. she had low self esteem sometimes, and at other times she was selfish and sexy, she just seemed so real.

Okay, so this wasn't a perfect book, but which book is? The whole 'kidnapped' thing s More...

When Grace wakes up locked in a plain white room she has no idea how she got there. Held captive by the mysterious Ethan the only distraction she has is some pens and paper so she starts writing her story. As she writes about her friendship with Sal and falling in love with her boyfriend Nat we begin to unravel the mystery of how she ended up in the white room.

Entangled is a captivating and powerful debut and one that will take the reader on a roller coaster of emotions from laughter to tears an More...

From the discription, this reminds me of 'INSANITY' BY LAUREN HAMMOND.Of course that book is one of my favorites so i am anxious to read this.

All night I've been thinking: 3stars? 4stars? 5Stars? How do I feel about this?

I originally gave this book 5 stars but after finding out the answers to all my questions i felt dissappointed..........i must say.....everything was predictable and well, i'm just really sad.......

I thought Nat was a great person but after reading the last few scenes....I felt sick and angry.....I'd fallen for him so bad and to find out that he wasn't the boy I thought he was......i don't want to talk any more about More...

INTRODUCTION

This book was interesting, to say the least. I picked it up, with high hopes and I can't really say whether I loved it or absolutely hated it.

Entangled is a story of twists, turns and downright confusing natures.

CHARACTERS

Grace: The main character. I didn't like her very much. She seemed a little selfish at times and wasn't the best character to relate to. However, I liked how we found everything out just as she did.

Ethan: The strange boy who brought her food. He seemed very quiet a More...

Dès le début du livre on peut ressentir que l’histoire sera triste et touchante, et on est de suite happé dans les explications de Grace pour comprendre comment elle en est venue à perdre le goût de la vie.

Au commencement on ne comprend pas, c’est une ado pleine de vie et d’entrain, qui croque la vie à pleine dans même si elle part malheureusement dans des excès, mais plus elle nous raconte ce qui s’est passé plus on commence à voir jusqu’où elle veut en venir et on ne peut que comprendre que sa More...

The only reason I picked up this book was because it had the character name of Ethan in it. And I had only just lost my soulmate to cancer who was also called Ethan. Which of course started a whirlwind of me reading books that had his name in. Of course I didn't know this book also had self harm in, something I was doing to myself again to cope with the issue of dealing with his death as I had quit.

This book gripped from start to finish and I couldn't wait to finish it. Because as much as I love More...

Seventeen-year-old Grace wakes up in a white room, with a table, pens and paper and no clue on how she got there.

As Grace pours her tangle life onto the page she is forced to remembered everything she's tried to forget. There's falling hopelessly in love with gorgeous Nat, and the unravelling of her relationship with her best friend Sal. but there's something missing.

Grace must face the most important question of all. Why is she here?

At first when I read the blurb it sounded a bit dodgy but I More...

WARNING: FULL OF SPOILERS

WOW...just Wow.

I didn't expect this book to impress me as much as it did. See, I have this dead-on intuition about the cliche outcomes for 90% of the books I've read. I knew there was something going on between Sal and Nat. It was so obvious. Kinda made me dislike Grace for being so oblivious.

But in the end, I really appreciated reading this book. It was out of my element, but I totally enjoyed it. I feel really bad for Grace, the relationship between Nat and her had bee More...

Wow. This is one of THOSE books. One of the books that if you read it, leaves you thinking about it for hours on end, thinking and thinking and thinking (well, it did in my case, anyway!).
The protagonist of this book was a seventeen year old girl called Grace, who wakes up one day in a strange white room with no memory of how she got there. She is greeted by a person called Ethan, a boy who seems to know everything about her, yet she knows nothing about him.
I ALMOST cried at this book (almost, More...

Zur Aufmachung

Mir gefällt das deutsche Cover hier unheimlich gut. Der weiße Hintergrund, der für den Raum steht, in dem sich Grace zu Beginn der Geschichte wiederfindet, aber auch die vielen Buchstaben, die aus dem Originaltext entnommen den Titel bilden. Das ist so eine Art Rätsel und spiegelt damit sehr schön die Atmosphäre des Buches wieder. Im Vergleich dazu ist das Originalcover geradezu lächerlich.

Zum Buch

Ich wollte es wirklich mögen. Vor allem, weil die Geschichte so eine unglaubliche Tie More...

This was my second time reading a book by Cat Clarke. The first book I read from her, Torn, was great, so I decided to check out this one as well.
Now I must admit, I am sucker for your cliche "angsty teen girl going through/recovering from/trapped in a typical teenage drama" so I am biased. But this book was different. For once, you don't always completely side with the protagonist, Grace. At some points I felt like leaping into the book and giving her a good shake, and then at other points (esp More...

This book.... where the hell do I begin?
Well, for starters, I hated the style of writing. If it wasn't confusing me (Which was all the time) then the storyline was dragging on, or swapping around like crazy. At first, Grace was in this crazy white room, then shes drinking and overly flirting with a stranger on the swings, then shes back in the white room, and then with her bestie- I don't even think that was the order, but all I know is that the feeling I had after reading this book was not good More...

Oh, where to even begin with this book. Let's start with how there is no remotely likeable character in this except for two side character whose appearances are extremely limited (Devon and Sophie). Let's continue with how the main character especially (Grace) is grating at the best of times. Let's then move on to how big, sensitive topics (teenage pregnancy, depression, self-mutilation, neglect, suicide) are treated as plot devices that have no impact expect to further the personal drama of the More...

The MC, Grace, is a bitch. Pure and simple. Every little thing someone says (that's not sugarcoated to death) she gets VERY defensive. She always has to snap back, be rude and an awful person. She knows she's a terrible person. She blames her upbringing for the way she's turned out: a mess. Excessively drinking, having sex (started at 14) and cutting. Her father died and her mother isn't really one. Okay, fine, I get it, but really? Did she need to turn out that bad? Her mother was hardly the wo More...

This book would have been two stars if it wasn't for the amazing ending. I mean the whole Nat-Sal thing was completely predictable but I totally wasn't expecting the whole (view spoiler)[ Ethan is just imaginary (hide spoiler)] thing. I'll admit, when I finished the book I was like 'WHAT?! THAT'S THE END?! BUT THAT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE!!! (view spoiler)[ I MEAN WHAT ABOUT ETHAN? AND HER BEING KIDNAPPED? HOW THE HELL IS SHE SUDDENLY IN HOSPITAL?! WHAT THE HELL?! (hide spoiler)] and then, like, 10 minutes later I was like 'Ohhh, I get it now.' Stupid me.. More...

At first glance, the plot of Entangled appears at first to be one kind of story before quietly changing into something completely different. When we meet protagonist Grace, she has been saved from killing herself by an attractively aloof stranger, Ethan. The thing is, Ethan seems to have saved her by...er...kidnapping her. As kidnappings go it hasn't been too traumatic. He's provided her with a clean, white room, regular servings of her favourite food and some paper and pens on which to write. E More...

i loved this book. I thought that the character of Grace was told just perfectly. You could really bond with her and understand her pain completely. Normally for me a book where the heroine/ hero is self harming will normally just make me want to drop the book, because normally the characters end up coming across so over dramatic and pathetic, but i never felt that whilst i read Entangled. It sort of fit into the book, which i think is quite a hard thing to achieve, and you still could bond with More...

I don't know what to say about this one. I read it in a night and couldn't put it down. I was desperately fixated by Grace's "tangled life" and wanted her to be able to wipe her slate clean. I empathised painfully with her. To an extent.

There was a lot about Grace that I didn't like. It seemed like in every scene she had a drink in her hand and she wasn't a pleasant drunk. Her recounted story about how she lost her virginity in a grotty park play-structure made me feel kind of sick with disgust. More...

Grace is impulsive, reckless, selfish and a flirt. Just your typical seventeen year old with a fiery temper and hair to match. She doesn't believe in turning down a drink or a kiss from a boy if he's not half bad looking, actually there isn't much she wont say no to, except her mum of course. But while on the outside Grace is doing her best to hide the hurt, on the inside she is desperately trying to hold on to the only two people who mean anything to her.

When Grace left home for the park with a More...
