An absolutely sensational, raw collection of stories that presents humanity as its true unfiltered self: sometimes pure and beautiful but other times dark, dangerous and self-destructive.

Exploring poignant and hard-hitting themes such as sexual assault, family relationships, friendships, mental health, stigma and intimacy, this collection is uncomfortable in its frankness and warming in its resolution.

The personas presented by the writer leap off the page, old and young alike and she has pure talent for creating a believable tarnished coming-of-age mindset.

An absolute must read.

Thanks to NetGalley for this masterpiece in exchange for the easiest five star ARC review I've ever left.
