A brilliant engrossing story and I can't wait to read more by Lucy Ayrton
I loved this book. I loved the plot and the story arc. I loved Danni.
Refreshing, heartbreaking and magical; the most powerful first-person narrative I have read in years. Every mother should read this.
'Hard to believe it's a debut! It's really accomplished and the main character was totally sympathetic with a refreshing and authentic voice that just carried me through the story. I couldn't put it down - that voice, honest and . . . utterly compelling.'
Fascinating. Enlightening. Sobering.
