The kind of book you borrow from the library and then go buy a copy for your own shelves. I loved this book's honesty. The story was told in a way that felt intimate and truthful without making me shoulder the burden. I felt like the narrator and I were holding hands, that I was rooting for her, that I could be her friend and confidant, that I could emphasize with her when she faltered, and cheer when she had a win. I wanted desperately for her to be okay- to find some slice of peace for herself. The book pulled me in right away, I felt like I was in every room and every space, quietly wishing the narrator luck the whole time.
A book I'll return to no doubt, a book destined for the "favourites" section of my bookshelf.
