Rocky has become obsessed with the death of a young man from Jamie’s school year - as if she hasn’t enough to deal with, with her own increasingly perplexing medical issues (and I thank the NHS that our system is nothing like Rocky’s experiences!).
I love Catherine Newmans’s witty, clever, heartfelt writing. One minute I’m laughing along, the next moment I’m empathising with her and reminiscing about her (my) children when they were small - and feeling as emotional as she does! Ahh, menopausal motherhood!
This book just seemed to finish far too quickly for me - I enjoyed everything about it.
Many thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for my copy. All opinions are my own!
