After reading We All Want Impossible Things recently I had to jump straight into Sandwich as soon as possible. The way Catherine writes feels so raw and real and natural that you can’t help but be sucked into whatever is happening in the story. I absolutely loved the family unit and how the whole story was told over the course of just one week but you learnt so much and felt so much for the characters that by the end you felt that you were right there with them and proud of their developments and achievements. There were so many moments I was taken aback and I loved that Rocky didn’t shy away from being real about the changes her body and mind go through throughout the book. Just such a brilliant read and I’m so grateful to have been able to read an eARC thanks to Double Day Books and NetGalley 😭✨
