this was such an unexpected love!! so evocative, I loved flipping between the two narrators and slowly realising the unreliability of their perspectives. I was hanging on every word at one point, desperate to know how each loose thread would find its way.

thank you NetGalley and 4th Estate for the proof copy

Mostly enjoyed this. Well-written and hard-hitting, and an interesting exploration of a dysfunctional family. I found it hard to connect with the characters, though.
