I really enjoyed this, I personally found Margaret’s story so intriguing and I enjoyed the dynamic between Hayden and Alice. I also love how Em Hen explores familial dynamics and I found the relationship between Alice and her mother fascinating. While I really enjoyed this book and found the writing so beautiful, I personally felt that the pacing was a bit all over the place and felt that the ending in particular was quite rushed. The romance element of the book was also very rushed and verged on insta love territory. However, overall I still really enjoyed and I love the message that your story has began before you even existed. I also loved the sisterly relationship between Margaret and Laura. Overall stunning gut wrenching writing although a little incomplete.
