I don’t usually like audiobooks but I was surprised by how much I enjoyed this one! I think the fact that it was told in first person and three very distinct narrators really helped. Mab, Monday and Mirabel were all great in their own ways and I really enjoyed each of their perspectives.

The story was really engaging and kept me interested the whole time, waiting to see what would happen next. Strong Erin Brockovich vibes which I really enjoyed. The story was devastating but also full of hope and love and strength. I must say, one of my favourite parts of the book was the representation and the use of the Social Model of Disability. Having not had first-hand experience with any of the disabilities mentioned, I thought they were written quite well. The characters were complex and flawed and never succumbed to the ‘inspiration porn’ trope which I really appreciated. This book felt really special to me and I really enjoyed it.
