The Weight of Loss by Sally Oliver
4.0
This book is an interesting look at mental health and shifting realities, with the main character and her sister both experiencing various episodes of ill health, both physically and mentally.
And for our main character, the build up of this- covering grief, breakdowns and work stress- starts to manifest in her body, with black hairs starting to grow from her back. These start off small but grow and grow until it feels like a chore for her. As this happens, her sense of reality starts to blur, and this book delves into some deep and difficult territory, which the author handles sensitively, allowing us to go down into the depths with her.
I received an advanced copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
