Nightingale Point by Luan Goldie
5.0

This was a pretty pacey, quick read which had I not been distracted by our weird world, would have been read far quicker.

I loved it. Like, every page of it. I didn't guess what the 'extraordinary event' mentioned on the blurb was. But my word, it blew me away, this whole book did. It's so beautifully written and by the end of the book I was so invested in the characters.

Without giving away too much of the plotline, the last part of the book revisits the characters five years after the event that changes their lives, and I was filled with so much warmth, getting the closure that is often missing with books. Finding out what became of them. I was sat with a smile on my face and it almost brought nearly brought a happy tear to my eye.

The narration being from the points of view of different characters was easy to follow as they all had their own unique voice, particularly Elvis, who I just adored. The blossoming of his relationship with other characters throughout is really just so heart warming.

The emotion I could feel throughout was so real and I could completely put myself in the shoes of each storyteller.

There's not much more I can say on this book without ruining it. But really all you need to know is, I loved it.
