WOW wow WOW wow!
It's immediately one of my favorite books of all time, and it's hard to put into words how much I love it. I love books that are character-driven, with no plot - just vibes, and this one is just that. Coco Mellors has a way with words, and I'm just in awe that this is her debut. Will be reading everything she publishes in the future, starting with Blue Sisters!
Never have I read a book that has made me go from liking - to hating - to loving a character during one chapter, over and over again. This book was also a tad too relatable, so it has made me think A LOT about my own life. Oh well...
