So I checked the shortlist for the year this book won the #baileysprize and it won over A Little Life?! 😲🤯
It should have gripped me - dark, gritty, set in Ireland, flawed, messed-up characters - but it just felt... pointless 🤷♀️ great first chapter & characters were ok but I wasn‘t invested in them at all. Completely overwrought. I wouldn‘t have missed out if I‘d bailed tbh.
