Small Things Like These by Claire Keegan

3.75

I read this book in the wrong season  for its prose to really call out to me as it probably should and honestly, I  really struggled to get through it. Nevertheless, I can acknowledge it's a good book. It's intricate and heart-wrenching in a way that feels very vulnerable. Keeghan beautifully describes how a life spent working non-stop can disguise you from yourself; your emotions, your desires and your fears. This is a message I could relate to, but I can imagine relating to even more once I've lived more of my life. Therefore, I really feel like this is a book I should reread when I'm older... and it's Christmas time.
