'Anne by Zarina Macha is one of the best coming of age stories for young adults that I've read...addresses many topics of major interest and importance to teens, i.e. gender issues, opening up to family and friends, peer bullying, cutting, suicide, resorting to alcohol and drugs when other solutions to psychological stress aren't working.' - Viga Boland, Readers' Favorite
'A compelling and thought-provoking coming of age story; does a brilliant job of speaking to the experiences of young people using an informal, readable style reminiscent of Jacqueline Wilson to tackle the emotionally rich and complex issues faced by teenagers in British schools.' - Goodreads Review
'I would definitely recommend this book to any who enjoy stories about high schoolers dealing with real-world problems and anyone who is looking for more LGBT representation in their books.' - C.M Fritzen, author, cmfritzenbooks.com
'Innocent, raw, real and intense...the author narrates brilliantly the story of a young lady who is constantly battling with her own demons and traumas she has faced at such a young age.' - Lloyd Dwaah, author
'Anne was an easy character to like, and I liked the ending, because I was left with a conclusion to all the heart break that Anne had dealt with.' - MA Thomas, author, issu.com/thebookreviewproject
'A brilliant third self-published book from Zarina Macha is beautifully written. The craft is exquisite and I know she is destined for bigger things, publishing deals, works in the written press.' - Lynn James, finance blogger at mrsmummypenny.co.uk
'Well, what a brilliant novel...The relationships between the characters are solid and beautifully conveyed.' - Petrina Binney, author, petrinabinney.com
'The pace is decently slow, and the fictional work blends well with the coming of age character Anne has. She definitely can be seen as a victim but also rises above that and becomes a survivor.' - Jeyran Main, blogger, jeyrainmain.com
'The way Macha explains the perspective and point of view of a young teenager is absolutely flawless.' - thenightreader, blogger
'Beautifully written and heartbreaking in places, an amazing story and one that touches very much on mental health and the importance of taking care of yourself and others.' - Joey Paul, author, joeypaulonline.com
