A heartbreaking book beautifully written. Nina‘s story is unfortunately so real for many people, Shappi has created something that is raw and honest. It was incredibly easy to read considering how triggering some of the topics are. Glad I picked this one up in the bookshop #pick
Ooof, this book was A LOT! CW: rape!
This starts off fairly innocently as a relatable tale about a teenager going slightly off the rails - she's a bit too sexually active and she drinks too much. Sounds like me at 17. Gradually, it becomes clear that her drinking is at a dangerous level, she is an unreliable narrator, and her experience changes from cringe to catastrophic. It's got a happy ending, but the way Shappi sucks us in is incredible. Fab.
