Enjoyed this book. It's an easy read, would probably make a good holiday book. But it is based on a difficult, challenging subject and is both heart-warming and disturbing at the same time.

I loved Lou, the main protagonist and thought she was a very vivid character with depth, richness and lots I could relate to. Whilst the book has a very serious subject matter underpinning the plot, the story is really about Lou and her journey maturity, independence and self-discovery.

A thought-provoking book capably written with sensitivity.

Beautifully bittersweet

The first few chapters threw me. We're led through different times and it took me a while to adjust and understand....... totally worth it!
    Going alongside Emily in her journey of self discovery was definitely like being in a different world. It was quite immersive and so bittersweet and heartbreaking, yet it filled me with warmth. I won't go into any details about why it made me feel this, I want you to experience this for yourselves.

Each character had a good solid personality and the interactions between them were well written.
