This is a lovely collection of stories, almost all focussing on young people who are figuring themselves out. Bennett-Daylight captures the precise feeling of so many moments of awkwardness, unease and realisation and writes like a dream throughout. In many ways this is reminiscent of [b:Hot Little Hands|24681815|Hot Little Hands|Abigail Ulman|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1425024533s/24681815.jpg|44299392], both in its approach (a mix of interlinked and standalone stories) and the type of moments, characters and stories that the authors are interested in. This is a more polished book – and one that has me enthused about exploring the author’s back catalogue.

I couldn't warm to these stories. They were fine and there was some clever sentences, but it felt like I could write these stories. But I guess I didn't and she did.
