A brilliant book about life and parenting, set in Belfast. We meet Misty , the mc, a teenager who wants to be a makeup artist. Misty is attacked and traumatised. The characters are many and drawn with humanity. As one review says ‘ Erskine‘s great gift is for character, all are complicatedly flawed and empathetically rendered‘. I couldn‘t agree more. A gripping book to read. I couldn‘t put it down. It‘s a debut and I look forward to more from her
