Blurb 

Ben Lawrence seems to have it all - the hot job, the flashy car, the luxurious apartment. But one tragic day in his past mars his future.

Since the events of that day he hasn't truly got close to anyone.

He made a promise that love was the price he would pay for his mistakes.

When Effy Jones - a bright, ambitious charity founder - walks into the PR firm where Ben works, neither realise that their lives are about to be turned upside down.

Paper Swans tells of how love can conquer all, and how when everything is broken one person can help to put the pieces together...


Verdict
Wow......I fell in love with Paper Swans so much. Heartbreaking and Life Changing....

Being a big fan of Jessica Thompson's last two books This is a love story and Three Little Words, I couldn't wait to read Paper Swans. When I saw the cover..it was breath taking, beautiful and can easily stand out on shelves!
Paper Swans is about a bloke called Ben Lawrence who has it all, the hot job, the flashy car, the amazing luxurious apartment. But one tragic day in his past stops him moving in the future. He won't let him self get close to anyone, won't let himself fall in love or anything...Until he meets Effy Jones, a bright, ambitious charity founder who Ben will be working with part of his job to work with a charity and help them raise money for that charity... Ben and Effy don't realise their lives are going to be turned upside down.

I loved reading Paper Swans so so much, Jessica Thompson is an amazing writer who in this book has written about Mental Health which can effect everybody in different ways even if you try and cover it up, Mental Health is still going to be there. Jessica really approached the story so amazingly and you really will fall in love with the story. 

I loved the characters Ben and Effy so much, at first when I was reading about Ben I thought he seemed a right tool and bit obnoxious however reading more and more of the book, my views changed of Ben and realised he just wanted to find to love deep down but that tragic accident is still lodged in his mind...
Effy comes across a care free kind person who will do anything for the people in her charity which is just amazing the things she will do.
I don't want to give too much away of the story as you need to experience the emotions yourself while reading this book.
I adored Paper Swans so much and want everybody to go out and buy all 3 of Jessica Thompson's book as you won't want to miss out!

"5 amazing, loveable, beautiful, magical stars"
