This was a quick little read, just barely over novella length.
There's also a movie adaptation with Cillian Murphy that just premiered at Berlinale, which looks great. This book is great for anyone looking for a quick yet still deeply emotional read

I didn’t love it as much as I loved the aforementioned story by Claire Keegan, but I still found it very interesting. There will be content warnings included below, of course!
I really loved Furlong too 😳
3.5 out of 5 stars for me, thank you ✨
