A review by ruthie_the_librarian
One Ordinary Day at a Time by Sarah J. Harris
4.0
This was very readable, and deals with a variety of difficult and dark topics, though manages to remain hopeful. I thought perhaps it was another Rosie Project reworking, but in the end it turned out to be more than that, and I was intrigued throughout as to what had happened to Simon, as each time you think you've guessed something, there's still a little bit more.
I did feel it ran a little long, and the point at which I thought I must be at the end turned out to still have a quarter of the book to go. This almost pushed it to 3 stars for me, and in some of the final unravelling I did keep thinking 'wait, what?!' But on the whole it was engaging, I cared about the characters, it had both humour & sadness, and I stayed up far too late to finish it!
