Before My Actual Heart Breaks by Tish Delaney

5.0

I listened to the audiobook (beautifully read by Saoirse-Monica Jackson) and ended up purchasing a hard copy too because I had to have such a heartbreakingly beautiful story on my shelf. I felt so much for Mary. I felt like I went on such a journey with her and I don’t think I’ve ever rooted more for a character’s happiness. I gasped, I laughed, I cried so much I had a headache. Such intrinsic details and the author does such a good job setting the scene of such a dreadful time in Northern Irish history. I’m going to feel lost without this book.
