Half a World Away by Mike Gayle
5.0

Guys, this book is a five star read. I read in its entirety this weekend as part of my 24in48 Readathon (which was really hard btw!) and by the end I was broken and sobbing
.
Telling the story of siblings separated as children, reunited as adults with a twist I just did not see coming, Half A World Away is funny, real and brilliant. Gayle’s writing sucked me right in - even without the 24in48 challenge I would have struggled to put this book down.
