5.0

A short but impactful book, that’s for sure. Small Things Like These follow the story of Bill, an irish man happily married with five daughters, during the week following Christmas. Throughout the story we get insight if Bill’s childhood and oh boy it was sad. This book felt like a punch in the guts for me with a beautiful moral at the end. 
I need everyone around me to read this and I will go on a propaganda about it.
