I feel like this book is just a masterclass in prose. Every word was so perfectly chosen to portray a feeling to the reader. For example deliberately clumsiness, or the perfect portrayal of dreams. Genuinely fantastic

Absolutely loved this book and a month later I can't stop thinking about it. This is the kind of book I can't wait to pick up every year.
The writing was beautiful, the way it captures the complexity of post-brexit Britain and loss is stunning.

This was glorious. A true pageturner - not because of the plot, but because the writing is simply that good and I kept wanting more of it. Sometimes a sentence gave me pause, and I just sat there ruminating it for a bit. I’ve just finished it, but I kind of want to read it again already.

I think Ali Smith is a phenomenal writer - I enjoyed the characters and the plot (there’s really not much of it), but it also felt scattered and hazy (ah like memory). There’s some great lines and commentary, it’s just not a favorite
