True that theres simalaties about the books, but its all so different at the same time and these really dont matter at all. The story is THAT involving and leaves you wanting more, you can really feel for the two girls in this book and the people around them.

I don't think it could ever be a classic but its certainly something every fan of books in this era should have.

I loved this book, I started on Camellia and because there is such a great twist at the end of Camellia, I was hooked on buying Ellie and reading it as it inter- relates to Camellia.
My advice is to read Camellia first and then Ellie otherwise Ellie tells u too much. I am dying to read Charity next and must get myself down to a bookstore. My friend Jo, suggested Camellia as she could not put the book down and now we are both avid Lesley Pearse Fans!!
Well Done a great Book

I really enjoyed the book but found the last few chapters a little unbelievable and not true to the heart of the rest of the book. It is hard to believe that the character we get to know so well would act like she does at the end and the justification for these actions seems a little out of step with her own upbringing. Having said that, it won't put me off another Pearse novel and I would heartily recommend 'Never Look back'.
