review 1: I read this because I'd read A Monster Calls by Patrick Ness, who took the story idea for that book from this author and also raved about her. I had read one other by her, but wanted to do another and I just loved the title of this when I read that she renames herself Solace when she takes off from her foster home. It's a journey of self-discovery, remembering painful truths, and then, moving on. It's beautifully written and I loved the reader's Irish accent!
review 2: Holly Hogan has had a rough life. She is 14 and living in a foster home that she hates, she hates most things about her life. About the only thing that makes her happy are memories of her mom. She finds a wig in her foster home and is transformed into Solace, she feels older, more confident an... mored ready to traipse across England and Wales and ferry to Ireland to find her mom. This book is an interesting physical journey as well as an introspective look at who Holly Hogan/Solace really is. Bittersweet, 3 1/2 stars less
