Olivie’s writing is so unique, it takes me so long to get into it and half the time I have no idea if I’m enjoying myself or not and then suddenly I’m so invested. 

This one started slow for me, and it’s much more character than plot forward. It’s about three siblings and how they respond in the wake of their father’s death. There’s loads of snark, magic that you’re never quite sure how it works, poignant reflections on motherhood, and did I mention there’s snark? Vibes were great though!

After reading several of her books, I think the truth is that Olivie Blake just isn't for me.
