🌟🌟🌟🌟-  My third Beth O Leary and though it wasn't my favourite, I still enjoyed this one. I felt in this book, Beth went into quite dark and toxic themes in comparison to some of her other books. It was quite difficult to read at times.  The relationships pretty much across the whole novel were really unhealthy, and I was a bit unsure about the ending because of this. But having said that, I think it tackled important subjects especially looking at the damage these relationships can do to people's mental health and wellbeing. I also find Beth's writing really easy and smooth sailing so I can always devour her books in a couple of days. Overall, an interesting read but not my favourite

Loveable & complex characters a good story but I wasn’t a fan of the format and needed you reading the then sections all at once then the now sections afterwards and I really helped. It is it wasn’t as good as the flatshare.
