I enjoyed this one, I took it out of the library on a total whim, very much enjoyed this short audio book. 
A young girl struggling to make sense of the world in an very stable home. 

The depiction of her growing up and slowly realising and understanding her home life is not normal and also really terrible is written so well. 

I was really rooting for Tatty and hoped that she would be able to forge a better life and escape the cycle, however I'm big sure that Tatty will get her happy ending.

Good all round women's fiction, I liked this it felt like it mirrored my dating experience through my late 20s and early 30s, it definitely had something to say. I especially liked the ending and epilogue.

In parts this was quite predictable but overall I enjoyed my time with this audio book.

This is 116 pages and it's gloriously Fucked up. If you like weird horror this is the one. 
Freaky and in a weird and gross and horrifying way. 
Loved it. 😅

This book was beautiful. Honestly I loved it, the looping back over things the slow reveal is that this is a life lived multiple times. 

Each time the darkness comes she gets another go, and each time the consequences are good, and bad, and the same. 

I love how she learns from her past lives but never knows really that she has.

This was a really slow read for me, I think I liked it but it felt quite messy and all over the place. 

I enjoyed the parts about simonopio and his bees and I wish more of thd book was about him, however as it was this was an okay read.

This was an okay Rom Com it was fine, the sex scenes weren't all that amazing and the story was OK, nothing to write home about but perfectly adequate.

I liked this more than the Flat Share.
I read this in one sitting, I was reading along but with the audio book playing as it happened to be available on my library app. 
It made me ugly cry and Buffey had to check on me that I was alright as one of the scenes with her sister is absolutely heartbreaking. 
Loved this.

Absolute banger, if you love Roald Dahl you'll love this. Highly recommended way to spend your adult money! 😂

Great book, read this in one sitting and haven't done that for ages.
A sad story with a bittersweet ending. 
Definitely worth your time.
