A short, undemanding read, a little reminiscent of Megan Nolan’s Acts of Desperation, but not quite as dark. Will feel very familiar to anyone with endometriosis, or even just struggled to be taken seriously by the healthcare community. Would be interested in seeing where the central figure goes next.

I received this book at a proof party as part of Durham Book Festival. Finished it less than 48 hours after getting it, and couldn’t put it down. Beautifully written, poignant and challenging. In my opinion, like Sally Rooney’s prose, but better.
