This is a strong debut. Which is obvious in being shortlisted. The characters are strong and complex. Coming from different circumstances, the main characters have vastly different lives, but still share a lot of the same themes. Their stories were brought together seamlessly and told in a very completing and tangible manner. I really enjoyed this one and would definitely recommend.

Struggled personally with the content. Triggered traumatic lived personal experience. Need to exercise extreme self care when I pick this up again. Well written book so far. Heart wrenching.
