The Law of Entanglement
By Laurinda Lawrence
My Review:
The Law of Entanglement is a story written with such a fresh and enjoyable writing style I found myself highlighting sections on my kindle as I read.
"The country town where we live is so forgettable, even the cicadas sometimes didn't bother turning up."
It is this type of literary style that allows Lawrence to create very distinct characters within the story. Written in a two person POV (a favourite style of mine) allows the reader to have insight into the raw emotions that drives two people together in a small town where secrets are hard to hide.
The story unfolds from a two person point-of-view. Jacob, a rising athletic star and son of the local police officer. And Blue Wren, daughter of the town hoarder and social outcast. The two are bought together through secrets, lies and deception which all continue to build, threatening to destroy the delicate existence of their relationship.
Lawrence is a new voice in the YA scene and I look forward to reading more from her.
Strongly recommend this is if you like a coming of age story, mixed up with dysfunctional families and a web of entanglement .
From the publisher The Law of Entanglement
Secrets draw them together, will lies tear them apart?
Seventeen-year-old amateur photographer, Blue-Wren, wants to belong, but no one wants to know you when your mum’s a compulsive hoarder. Her uncle, the town undertaker, is just another nail in the coffin of rejection. A chance encounter with popular Jacob, the boy who ignores her existence, could change all that…
Jacob, Tatum’s rising athletic star, wants his little brother back. The empty wheelchair in the corner is a constant reminder he’s gone. Jacob isn’t interested in the small town’s smothering pity, or his controlling father’s overbearing expectations. He wants out. But first, he must save Pluto, his brother’s beloved rescue-dog; a symbol of the ‘ghost’ in their lives—a ghost his dad is determined to forget.
If saving Pluto means friendship with the social-reject, so be it. Only no one can ever find out. What Jacob doesn’t know is that Blue-Wren has secrets too. Big secrets.
Secrets become lies, become more lies. As they discover more about each other their connection deepens. Both of them secretly long for what no one will ever accept.
Suspicions are aroused. Bullies rise up. The town is against her.
Then there’s that unforgivable thing she did. That thing she can’t undo. That thing Jacob will hate her for...
Will the unravelling of truth tear them apart?
