I love character focused novels so the lack of plot wouldn't have bothered me if it had of been an introspection tale. But we don't see inside Lucy (or Sam's head), it is very tell and not show. Which when the story is relying on their internal journey we don't see it is hard to be anything but bored and slightly irritated because I wanted, wanted to love this story.

To me this book is about (not) belonging, searching for a home outside and inside yourself, being looked at but not being seen - but wanting to be really seen, identity, family, trauma, class, having (no) rights but most of all the right to write your own story.
