Was really excited about this book loved it from the beginning Anna story is heartbreaking yet she is very resilient and strong wonderfully written Amanda' really draw's you into the story and can relate to the characters only complaint wanted to keep reading can't wait now for full novels as can't stop thinking about what's going to happen next but no it won't disappoint

Ooh I love this story so far, I was hooked on from the first few pages and it’s definitely let me wanting more.
I sit excitedly waiting on the release date to read this book in full.
We are taken on Anna’s journey, from when she was a young child until her 18th birthday, I can’t wait to read the rest to find out what happens next.

This prequel was an enjoyable read but I actually wanted more of Anna as a child and the prequel felt rather rushed jumping from one age to another. Hopefully Theo will return to the characters in Anna’s childhood.

Three and a half stars.

In the first section of the book, Anna is growing up in care following the death of her mother and brother. both of these events had a massive effect on her. It will be interesting to read the reat of the book and see how her life progresses.

I totally blame Ms Prowse for my lack of sleep last night. I had decided to have an early night but thought I'd take a peek at this book first. Big mistake as once I started reading, this book took a grip on me so tightly, that I simply could not stop until the very last page! This is an absolutely stunning novel and the writing is so powerful and emotive that it leaves a lump in the throat throughout. I absolutely know for certain that this book WILL be a bestseller. This is Amanda Prowse at her finest.

Many thanks to Netgalley for a copy of this ARC for which I have given my voluntary and unbiased review.

Another 5 star review for Amanda Prowse. It's going to be a long wait till March to read the rest of Anna's story and I can't wait!

Although this is a taster I am so excited for the rest of the book. I can't wait to find out what happens next in Anna's journey.

Oh ANNA! What an amazing story so far. What a beginning to life and to have such strength and compassion for others. Absolutely loved this. Amanda does it again! I'm completely drawn in by Anna, her sorrow and her joy, as a character I absolutely adore her already and am willing her to succeed. I'm absolutely gripped by it and NEED to know what happens. I cannot wait to see how her life unfolds and she grows. I can't wait to read all about her and Theo. I'm so excited at prospect of being able to read it from both perspectives.

Only the first few chapters in the extract of the new book ‘Anna’ from Amanda Prowse, but enough to whet my appetite and leave me wanting more. Anna is the name of the main character in the story, and in these chapters Amanda Prowse charts her tragic progress from six year’s old to her eighteenth birthday celebrations - and what an amazing journey it has been for Anna up to this point. Amanda provides a superb character study of a young girl weighed down by grief, struggling through her teen years without the support of a beloved family, and yet remaining a loveable, stoical, steady young woman.
Please send me the rest of the book so I can read what happens next! Poor Anna really does deserve an upward turn in luck!

This author has done it again. Yet another brilliant book. I will stop what I'm doing to read her work. I started this on an evening when I was exhausted. I fell asleep reading, but woke in the middle of the night to read the rest. It is excellent. This author is brilliant at making you really feel for the character and believe what's going on. I cannot wait to read more about Anna.

I have just spent a wonderful January afternoon in bed with Anna by Amanda Prowse. In this sneak-peak we first meet Anna as a young child and are taken on Anna’s journey until her 18th birthday. Once I started reading I didn’t want to put this book down and I look forward to meeting the adult Anna as this taster has left me hungry for more of Anna’s’ story. Amanda Prowse when can I read the rest please?
