cecilialau_'s review against another edition
4.5
It’s been marketed with references to Derry Girls which I don’t see as noteworthy beyond the Northern Irish setting and the Troubles - and it’s not YA, but I get the desire from the publishers to do so (I just don’t want ppl to be disappointed and then for that to take away from this wonderful book). And yes, Majella shares some characteristics with Eleanor Oliphant (…is Completely Fine), but I still think this book stands on its own.
- Just want to add that I love all three.
Anyway, just a very good read imo

This book is definitely more of a character study firmly rooted in time and place (Northern Ireland after the Troubles), so if that isn't you're thing, then this book is not for you. I picked it up for the autistic main character and in that aspect, it certainly delivered.
