Everyone Is Still Alive by Cathy Rentzenbrink

emotional hopeful inspiring reflective tense fast-paced

5.0

 

This was recommended to me by Jenna, @book_club_mumma as it’s her book in the @nbmagazine book blogger awards. 

What an amazing, insightful book. This book is a fiction debut for this author, and I am already looking forward to her next fiction book. 

Based around the residents of Magnolia Road, a suburban street in London, this page turning, tear-jerking, laugh-out-loud book bring home the stark and contrasting truths of parenting, marriages and ‘helpful’ neighbours. 

This book was so addictive and unputdownable! I was so invested in this book, not only the characters but Magnolia Road too. Even now, two days after finishing it I am still in Magnolia Road, helping Helen to try to keep Freddie happy and enjoying a catch up and a coffee after the school drop off. 

Another book that I urge you all to read if you haven’t already.
