At first I was unsure how I felt about this book as generally speaking I prefer a plot driven book rather than character. However as I got about 100 pages in and I started to realise the connection between these two characters - who seemingly had no connection before this - it really clicked with me.

I really loved both Ruth & Pens stories. As someone living in Dublin it made me realise I could be walking by anyone who’s going through what either of them are going through. It was really introspective and I loved it.
