The Rachel Incident by Caroline O'Donoghue
funny
reflective
4.0
The Rachel Incident is sardonic, fresh and full to the brim with chaos energy.
Rachel herself is wry, delightfully nervous and full of relatable intrusive thoughts. I loved her relationship with James, and how it shows how vital friendship is. I adored their connection, how they were always there for one another, and their inside jokes and shared humour.
This book touches on a few very heavy, very important, topics also. I loved how the author wove these themes in organically, they never felt too sudden or too stilted.
I think my only *wish* is that I wanted more. Caroline achieves so much here, but I just wanted a little more insight into these wild things that seemed to happen around Rachel.
For fans of the unhinged girly litfic scene 💕
