I think I have found a new comfort book. For lovers of Sally Rooney this is a beautiful exploration of messy families and learning how to become a young adult in the most painful but necessary of ways. It encapsulates reality through fantastical lens in the use of dreams and questions what builds an identity if not the experiences that we have when we are young. This book frames young female friendship in a very familiar way, everyone would know someone in their lives who is portrayed in the characters contained in this book. It was both heart wrenching and heart warming and anyone who has ever felt like a misfit, like they were a fraud in growing up or questioned their own sanity this book is for you. Nealons words have acted as a friend and a comfort right when I needed them most and I feel as though I have made a great friend in this book.
