Despite tackling heavy topics, this book made me smile; and our protagonist Lenny Marks is so darn likeable; she was fleshed out and real in my head. The exploration of a thirty-something year old adult manging childhood trauma was told beautifully and with humour at times. Her personality and it's quirks - humorous at times, is reflective of the life she has had and fought to exist in.

Couldn’t put this down! I fell in love with the characters and needed to know what happened in the end so read it in two days.
