Thanks to the publisher for sending me an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.
This was a really reflective novel about growing old, queer relationships, and the idea of what a family 'should' look like. There were some incredibly sad moments as the main character reflects on the declining health of a woman she looks after at a care home and how nobody comes to visit her. There were also frustrating moments when the mc refused to accept that her daughter's girlfriend, Lane, was actually her girlfriend and couldn't bring herself to be polite to her (despite Lane being nothing but kind to the mother). The story gives us a lot to think about in terms of life decisions, caring for others, and societal and organisational prejudices.
Full RTC closer to publication date.
