4.5
I wont ever forget this story.
Set in a modern-day Ireland at the start of a civil war, where the country quickly descends into a totalitarian regime. The story follows Eilish trying to hold her family together amongst the terror and chaos as their lives unravel around them. A very tough read because this dystopian world doesn’t seem that far away.
4.5* but would have been 5* if I hadn’t found the writing style so challenging
