I love reading Olivie Blake’s writing but this book was….hard to get through!! If I remind myself that this was a slice of life family-drama, I like it more. But goddamn it took me a long time to finish.
I truly hated reading Eilidh’s chapters. Her feelings felt convoluted via Blake’s pen instead of beautifully descriptive. I liked Lou the best, and Arthur. The narrative structure was brilliant (ugh). Her quippy dialogue is always my favorite to read so I’ll never stop!!
Overall, not my favorite from this author. Which I hate to say.
