A review by kimbofo
You by Nuala Ní Chonchúir
5.0
Nuala Ní Chonchúir's debut novel, You, was published in 2010. I knew absolutely nothing about it, but bought it on a whim and read it over the Christmas break.
It turned out to be a lovely, heartfelt and completely engrossing story about a 10-year-old Irish girl grappling with issues out of her control: the loss of her best friend Gwen, who moves to Wales; the impending birth of a new half-sibling to her father's second wife; and a new man in her mother's life.
I read it after I compiled my favourite reads of 2013, otherwise it would have been on the list. Indeed, it's one of those novels I've been thinking about a lot since I read, which is usually the sign of a very good book.
