Devoured this book, absolutely devoured it. This is such an interesting one because it’s subject matter is objectively difficult to read (grief, abuse, domestic violence) but the way it’s structured - short chapters, varying POVs and a really compelling story makes it so very readable. Fans of Tomorrow I Become a Woman will want to read this, thank you to Canongate for my copy.
