Didn't really get on with the writing style, it was a bit too simple for me. But there were some really important themes such as addiction, grief and consent. There were some parts of the book where I thought 'wow I didn't know someone else felt like that' but all in all I will probably have forgotten it by next year.

This was such a page-turner! I think I read it in about 3 sittings, and when I was reading I completely fell into the story. Macmanus's writing is really compelling, and I loved how the dialogue was interwoven with the main narrative - emphasising how much of this book is steeped in memory and our relationships with our past. Overall, this is a really beautiful book about grief, motherhood, and family.
