Addictive read - had to stop my other book to read it because it was on my mind too much (mostly the structure of the book was on my mind w the short chapters lol). Absolutely not clever enough to understand big chunks of it and properly appreciate the writing, but I adore Jessica Andrews and her style - her short chapters make reading her books a breeze and are my favourite kind of structure because the time just flies and (commitment phobe I am) I find I don’t have the pressure of deciding whether to read another chapter because do I have enough time energy etc, I just don’t stop reading. Love the storyline, tiny bit confusing to follow in some places (hard to know whether she was talking about the past or present at the start) but honestly so minor and such a good book in my favourite structure. Got even better the more I progressed through it - love how there’s the oast and present running alongside each other throughout (like in Milk Teeth which I did prefer but only because it’s set abroad). Jessica Andrews giving us the best most addictive books yet again - would honestly read anything even a shopping list written by Andrews, she’s amazing.
