Alice Hoffman's novels are in a league of their own. Her magical, lyrical prose wraps around the story in a way that leaves the reader wondering how she does it. Blue Diary is a story of hard choices, believable yet imbued with a dreamlike quality. My favorite of her books is Second Nature, but this one is a worthy entry in her body of work.

i got the book from my schoo library because once exams were over, i figured i would be bored and have nothing to do. i hadn't read a book that i WANTED to read since last summer and i had read another book by hoffman so i noticed the name. i picked up the book and within the first two chapters, once i figured out that the perspective was changing, i was completely engrossed in the book. i ended up having to return the book before finishing and found myself running to every bookstore in search of it, finally finding a not-so-expensive copy on amazon. i personally think it's a great book, definitely a page turner for me at least.
