Thoughts

A fun read this one. For once, I thought I might have liked it better via audiobook because it was such a monologue style and so strongly Irish, I feel like being told the story would have been better than reading it. However, read it I did and I zipped through it. The style reminded me quite a lot of Bridget Jones, that sort of informal, thoughts-on-a-page thing. But I liked that it wasn’t just a rom-com, it was really a woman trying to figure out where she is and where she’s going next, whilst dealing with some family drama along the way. And I really liked the calm ending, not all wrapped up neatly but with some promise for the future.
