This book took me a little while to get into initially, but once I was about 25% in I was ready to invest. I spent a LOT of time thinking about this book.
There are many content warnings that are required, so if any of those below upset you please do not read.
What a deeply draining book! I came away and breathed a sigh of relief, because Mungo went through a LOT.Â
I canât imagine having lived through a period like that, and yet Douglas Stuart wrote this in such a way that you could see everything and understand all that Mungo endured.
Maureen was by far the most complex character I felt; there could be a book written about her too!
Lots of love for Mungo, James Jodie and surprisingly Calum? â¤ď¸ I wasnât expecting the feature from him towards the end đĽš
4 out of 5 stars from me, thank you â¨
