I absolutely loved this book and just couldn’t put it down. I was in a reading rut before picking up this book, and it absolutely did the trick. Twill's character was such a breath of fresh air, and I appreciated how feisty she was and how she kept her ground, especially in some fairly uncomfortable moments. The way Bruton managed to take characters we already knew and give them a fresh spin was also great, and I am very intrigued to read more of her books.

Stopped reading at chapter four because of the highly visceral and disgusting fatphobic descriptions. It’s cruel and irresponsible to constantly depict fat people as evil or lazy, and I’m sick to the back teeth of it. Expected more from a book published last year.

Almost no one knows that Oliver Twist actually had a twin sister, not even Oliver himself. But after being completely abandoned, she was found and looked by the sweetest person! This is what happened to Twill.
There are lots of colourful and interesting characters plus a lot of humour in the descriptions and happenings. Of course the big question is will Oliver and Twill ever actually meet? It is a bit predictable sometimes but still a sweet story and an enjoyable read.
