4-4.5/5 stars
I was genuinely surprised by how low rated this is (in comparison to TJR's other books anyway). 
I am now convinced that this woman can do no wrong in the 'writing a good book' department. Although this wasn't my favourite of hers and it's clear how much she has grown as a writer since her old work (especially given that there were a few elements here that were a little but 'products of their time'), her narrative voice is the closest thing to perfect for me. She can suck me into a story and its characters like nobody else, and I genuinely don't know how to explain the hold her writing has on me.

TJR really likes her characters to get hit by cars, huh? Great story, great characters, great ending—loved it
