“…he could never share the hurt, because it would cloud their eyes and some part of them would wonder what he had done to deserve it.” 
oh I’m broken. My heart is broken. And then it was healed. In my heart they live all the way to 2015 and got married. That’s what I like to believe.

This story has really stayed with me and my impression of it has only improved since finishing it weeks ago. I listened to the audiobook and loved the narrator, he really added to my immersion in the story. I don’t read a lot of Scottish novels and hearing about the catholic/protestant divide in Scotland felt familiar but new. The story has some truly tragic and disturbing scenes (check the trigger warnings) but is not without it’s joyful moments. I find addictions related content to be very depressing but when it’s in a novel this good it’s worth it. Will definitely read more from this author.
