Thoughts

I’ve been obsessing over Matt Haig this year, and this follow up to A Boy Called Christmas was available to read via the library. If I’m being honest, I didn’t enjoy it as much as the previous one, it’s a bit chaotic, a lot of different elements going on and quite a lot to follow. But I do like the way it’s written, and even the more grown up sad elements are handled so well. It’s good stuff.
