A Monster Calls

There is so much I want to say about this but I don't think I can form a coherent review because I'm so overwhelmed with love for this. I went in expecting something totally different than I got. Halfway through I was thinking that in my review I would write about how it had made me laugh and cry, but by the end of it I was sobbing uncontrollably. The specifics of the topic it dealt with were something I related to heavily and something I didn't realise other people experienced, so to read this being portrayed so well totally floored me. I've already experienced my story so I wouldn't say this book has changed how I will react to these situations, but it's definitely changed how I feel about myself having those reactions. I strongly believe no other piece of media will ever portray how I felt when I was told my mother was dying as this book did, and for that I'm insanely grateful.
