I’m not sure what this was all about.

Written well to say the least but then the story has fallen flat. I couldn’t connect with Furlong and all the characters felt very one dimensional except Furlong.

Perhaps its just gone way beyond me because how can such an award winning book with a plethora of 4-5 stars be such a disappointment?!

Small but mighty is pretty good, was hoping for a bigger twist but enjoyable nonetheless

Claire Keegan’s writing style is just perfect. 

A little heartwarming story, with a bittersweet edge. 

Once again, like Pachinko, I’m learning about something I didn’t know anything about before.

Interested to see how the film will expand on the plot, but I can see that going well - Christmas Carol vibes. Although there aren’t many pages in the whole thing, these characters are so deep and three-dimensional.
