So enjoyed this! I’m in love with Carey as a character and I think everyone is so well written. Each chapter I said id pause there and was forced to keep reading by how good it was…

4.5

This book is primarily set in 2008-2011 Cork, Ireland. The economy is in a terrible recession and Rachel is graduating with an English degree and no job lined up. I was immediately hooked by the writing and deeply invested in Rachel’s love life and the tangled web that her and her best friend James were weaving in the lives of others. The book covers many heavy topics (homophobia, abortion) while also having an amused or amusing tone at times. I’m not totally sure to explain it but I really enjoyed reading it!
