This is the kind of ‘sad girl novel’ I can enjoy.
I love Jessie’s writing and prose and the way she explores the different relationship dynamics. Mother and daughter. Mentor and mentee. Married cheater and mistress.
Jessie weaves themes of identity, belonging and power in relationships, seamlessly with interesting, flawed characters whose emotions simmer underneath the surface.
I loved chatting to Jessie about the ending of the book and I thought it was the perfect length for this type of story.
Suffice to say, I’ll read anything Jessie writes.
