This book is just TOO much especially after the trigger warning: The assault scene There was no hope at all in the story and it was way too bogged down with despair that after that particular scene I lost interest in reading further.

Ugh, I've reached my limit of devastating and graphic depiction of abuse. Other that this being a little slow for me, albeit we know it's going to be tragic, there was that one scene that made me hang on. Let's move forward.

Beautiful, heartbreaking and sometimes terrifying. A book about love, and acceptance, and Glasgow. This spoke to me more than Shuggie Bain, I felt I knew this place and these people. Well worth a read and, more than likely, a re-read.

This novel is very much spiritual successor to Douglas Stuart's debut novel Shuggie Bain. It explores much of the same themes, has an identical set up of characters, takes place in the same setting but is more polished in just about every way to the point that I couldn't be annoyed by it.

One of the very few books which made me cry.
