A very interesting and easy read! I could put this down and pick it up a few days later without feeling lost which is perfect for the reading slump I was in.

This book made me laugh and cry! It was beautifully written. I loved the storyline & the character. The writer gave enough information to give you a good picture of the setting but not too much information that you lost what was happening.
The way it jumped forward in the timeline without warning was a little jarring in parts but it was nothing that put me off.

Great story. I appreciated the links and twists although some of them I predicted early on. Not a fan of long books so listened on audible and I’m not sure I’d have gotten through it otherwise.
I enjoyed he story though and the way everything was in depth but linked together and nothing was wasted.

Such a lovely wholesome read whilst also being upsetting in parts as it spoke on women’s rights, dv, alcoholism, forced adoptions etc.
I shed a tear at the end
