A review by carmen_jimenezv
Almost Love by Louise O'Neill

4.0

This is the first Louise O'Neill novel that I read and I can honestly say that it lived up to the hype. I found it compelling and the writing was truly beautiful. Even though I didn't like the main character too much, I found myself wondering what was going to happen to her and if she was ever going to find a way out of the situation she was living.

I give it 3.5 stars because I wanted Sarah to realise how she had been acting with her family, her friends, at work etc and I because really wanted her to find redemption. However, the ending left me feeling a bit empty and I am still wondering if she ends up finding what she had been looking for.

A very realistic tale of obsession, life, friendship and feelings that won't disappoint the reader.
