 Pros: 

·this book was just really fun, like a sort of deliberate chaos that was fun to read! It was fairly quick and also imbued with meaning alongside the fun 

· I liked how much depth each of the characters had, and how unique each of them were 

Cons: 

· I wanted to like her, but I found Dimple to be annoying much of the time. I kind of wish we’d gotten more from the other siblings’ perspectives, which I think would have lessened my annoyance. 

 

Recommendation: I recommend for those looking for a fun read that still has some meaning to it. I didn’t like this quite as much as Queenie, but that’s a high bar- I’ll definitely still read anything Candice Carty-Williams writes. This book has fun, but flawed, characters and was generally fast-paced. Avoid if flawed/annoying characters bother you.

If I could give this more than 5 stars I would. From start to finish it was a great story with great characters. I couldn’t get through it fast enough. It’s a new favorite on my list now.
Believe me when I say you won’t regret reading this novel. Highly recommended.
