I'm gradually adding books I've read in 2021 to give a true reflection of the books I've read since keeping records.  In January 2021, I kick-started my reading journey having put reading on the  back burner whilst bringing up the children only reading when on holiday, having previously being an avid reader.  I really enjoyed this book, its a story of Nora, but self reflecting, the regrets we have in life, how things could be different, hope and second chances. An easy but wonderful read

MATT HAIG YOU ARE A WRITING GENIUS. THIS HAS DONE MORE IN CHANGING HOW I VIEW MY DEPRESSION THAN MY THREE YEARS OF THERAPY.
