The Rachel Incident by Caroline O'Donoghue

challenging emotional reflective tense

• Plot- or character-driven? Character

3.5

i initially picked this book up because i was having a week of terribly low moods and contemporary litfic usually works during such periods. but man, i was constantly biting my nails out of stress for rachel - i was mad at her, depressed for her, sad for her, empathising with her, happy for her - although by the end i was satisfied with how things turned out for her.
