3.5

✨ Thrifted ✨

I should have realised this was a Macbeth-esque story, but I haven’t read Shakespeare in so long 🫠 Oops!

Content warnings are below, as usual!

I whizzed through this, not necessarily because it was written well but because there was always some discomfort lurking within (and I suppose Matt Haig’s intention was to write it as a 11 year old boy whose grammar isn’t going to be great) 😳

I’m giving it a 3.5 out of 5 stars ✨ Not sure what to read next to be honest 😂 This one put me in a weird place!
