I Will Crash
I Will Crash | Rebecca Watson
1 post | 1 read | 1 to read
"It was a peace offering, I knew that you don't appear on someone's doorstep uninvited, saying Alright unless you want to make amends. It's been six years since Rosa last saw her brother. Six years since they last spoke. Six years since they last fought. Six years since she gave up on the idea of having a brother. She's spent that time carefully not thinking about him. Not remembering their childhood. Not mentioning those stories, even to the people she loves. Now the distance she had so carefully put between them has collapsed. Can she find a way to make peace - to forgive, to be forgiven - when the past she's worked so hard to contain threatens to spill over into the present?"--Publisher.

Ah, the perils of buying books online after reading a great review! If I‘d have picked this up in a shop and flicked through it, I wouldn‘t have bought it.

I just didn‘t get on with the experimental (poetic?) writing style, which meant I didn‘t connect with the characters at all.

Rosa hasn‘t seen her brother for 6 years when he turns up on her doorstep. A tragedy means she is forced to confront their shared past. Too much ‘hinting‘ for me.
