I received an ARC of this book with thanks to Random House UK, Transword Publishers via NetGalley

I'm conflicted with how to review this book. I absorbed it over the course of a few hours and felt invested in Ruth and her story however, I'm not sure I liked it. Interesting and thoughtfully written, yes but it seems that it was missing something. Or perhaps that is the point, that life and the journey it takes us on can be difficult and sometimes bland but also connect us to those around us as at the end of it all, we're all ordinary people.
