The Rachel Incident by Caroline O'Donoghue
4.5
adventurous challenging emotional funny informative lighthearted reflective sad tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

definitely deserves the hype. the pacing of the first half was fine/good, but read the second half in one sitting.

emotional, funny, relatable (really encapsulates the messiness of trying to find yourself in your early 20s), and one of, if not the most intimate and writing of reproductive health i’ve read. i think people, particularly the girls and gays, will see aspects of themselves in both Rachel and James. loved it, very insightful and warm and also informative of irish reproductive health issues
