I was instantly intrigued by the concept... "Imagine a world in which you can only speak 100 words a day. Any more and a thousand volts of electricity will course through your veins. But only if you're a woman." It's dystopian fiction at its finest. Unsettling, powerful, thought-provoking and it will keep you up turning pages until the very end. Roll on its August release when it will surely become one of the most talked about books of the summer 📖

Thanks, HQ Stories & Christina Datcher for the chance to read it early!! 🙌

This novel is charming, uplifting and funny! Set in the idyllic St Felix (a fictional version of St Ives), McNamara's descriptions manage to perfectly capture the wholesome beauty of Cornwall within her pages. Her characters are brilliantly vivid and instantly loveable. A perfect, unputdownable summer adventure.

Thanks to Netgalley and the Little Brown Book Group for sending me this in exchange for an open and honest review.

I was super excited for this book to be released and I can safely say I loved it! This novel is such a roller coaster, it will make you gasp out loud and move you to tears. Once you've opened it, you'll be captivated until the very last page.

It's as heart meltingly brilliant! :)
