Losing
Face takes the form of Word documents, interspersed with emails. It covers the
accident and recovery of Cass, who sustains terrible facial injuries in a car
crash, including the loss of an eye. Her friend Em supports her throughout and
the two very different girls struggle in their own ways to cope as Cass
undergoes surgery, eventually returning to a mixed reception in school.
Throughout the story, friendship and values are challenged, particularly
through Cass's relationships with her mother and with her boyfriend, Spider.
I received Losing Face by Annie Try for review from
Roundfire Books, which I really enjoyed reading! Although at first I wasn’t
keen on how the book was set out, the layout grew on me as the book progressed.
I would definitely read other books written by Annie Try! My favourite
character was Cass, because despite everything that happened to her she
remained determined to get at least part of her old life back and because of
her sense of humour whilst she was in the hospital. I really like the cover of
Losing Face, as it’s inkeeping with the story, whilst also not giving too much
away. I also like the cover because of its simplicity.
