A review by bookrecsbyjess
The Irish Girl: A Novel by Ashley E. Sweeney

Did not finish book. Stopped at 68%.

Thank you to She Writes Press for the gifted ebook. All opinions are my own. 

Why I chose to read this book:

I was asked to read and review this book, and from the synopsis I was given, it sounded like something I would enjoy.

My thoughts:

This book was bleak the entire time I was reading it. The main character experienced one traumatic event after another, and the writing was so graphic at times. I just couldn't stomach the content of this book. If you like depressing stories with a LOT of triggering content, then I think you'll enjoy this book.
