Needed to brush my modern studies higher off for this one 😅

I found it a slow burn but was hooked half way through I can just be funny with books that jump perspectives and timelines but I ended up finding it's rhythm and I can see why the author chose this style.
 
Love how you felt you knew Clio without ever having heard from her perspective. Favourite character was Sammi by far. What happened to her especially with
Mark made me feel ill for her and the fact it is based on real events is mad


Also heavily pictured the character Spider as Spider from Coronation street (IYKYK). If Natasha Lyonne could do a Scottish accent she would be my pick to play Clio when she's older.
