Read Online The Weight of Water by Sarah Crossan - Free Book Online Page A

 
     
    Many books influenced my writing, and it would be impractical to mention them all, but I would like to highlight Odd Girl Out by Rachel Simmons, which informed so much of my understanding about girls and bullying.
     
    I am especially grateful to Mum, Dad, Jimmy and Andreas for their love and support.
