Ali Smith has a wonderful way of writing characters that feel like they’ve just stepped out of a very British film (the kind of film with a male lead who was definitely supposed to be Hugh Grant but they didn’t have the budget to cast him, you know the sort), they’re so unique and their dialogue is so fun to read. I wish I’d read it when it first came out, it transported me right back to 2016 and the aftermath of the Brexit vote, with all of that anger and injustice (little did we know it would only get worse from there).

Not really a plot-book just follows the characters with some flashes to the past. I did like Elisabeth’s POV much better than Daniel’s, as his seemed to be all over the place, confusing, and made no sense to me (the writing in his chapters seemed to be overly metaphorical/artistic…not entirely sure how to describe it)

Loved the relationship between Elisabeth and Daniel, especially seeing how it affected Elisabeth as she grew up!

It was a decent read; nothing great that would leave me thinking for days after having finished, but it wasn’t a bad read either. Fairly quick and easy to get through if you’re looking for a shorter book!
