This was a really interesting book. It took a detailed look into brainwashing and the way that it could be used to bring out of control children into line. It really went into the horror of how society could be changed so much if people in the government decided to fund this kind of research and kept it hidden like this.

I loved all of the characters, though Drew was a little stupid and headstrong. I don't know what I'd have done in her situation or what other options there were available, but getting yourself sent to the same place seemed a little reckless. I'm not sure what she thought was going to happen when she got there.

There was an interesting array of characters though and even though I think Drew should have thought things through a bit more, I felt she was clever and resourceful. I really liked her as a character.

I'll be interested to see what C.L Taylor brings us next.

I'm a huge fan of C.L Taylor's psychological thrillers, so I was so excited to find she had a new book. I'm not usually the biggest fan of YA literature, as sometimes it can be a little too simple. However this was a huge exception. I devoured this book in an evening, I could not put it down (much to my boyfriends dismay at 1am). The characters are amazing, I adore Drew and Mouse! The flow was fabulous, the ending was perfect and overall this was one of the best books I've read this year. So impressed with it, i'll be recommending it to everyone and anyone!

Actually 4.5 stars.
I am a big fan of this author so, even though I have seen young adulthood for too many years to count, I didn't hesitate when the chance to read this was given to me. Indeed, my thanks must go to the Publisher and Netgalley for this chance.
So, the star of our book is 16 yo Drew Finch. She lives with her mum and stepdad, her dad having died. Her brother, Mason, is currently in a residential reform academy as he was too disruptive for her folks to handle. One day, a stranger passes her a message from Mason saying that all is not as it should be at the academy and that the "help" they are "offering" is somewhat sinister. Her interest is piqued but she is dubious. Until that, is when the stranger is subsequently killed in an "accident". Coincidence? Or is there really something sinister going on? Drew starts to investigate the academy but, on the surface, can see no wrong. Digging deeper however, she starts to uncover certain facts, backed up by a meeting with a contact she finds online. She now firmly believes that all is not what it seems at the academy. Failing in her endeavour to get her parents on board, she does the only thing left available; infiltration from within. Can she get to the bottom of things and expose the truth? And if so, will she be in time to save Mason, and at what cost?
Firstly, I must say that I have read more than my fair share of YA books even though I am well out of their target age-range. If the characters are good and the story is interesting I really don't think this matters and I would have missed out on some cracking reads had I excluded myself from this selection. Indeed, I find it a great way of dipping my toe into new genres as I find that they tend to ease me in gently. This genre however I am very familiar with so it was quite interesting to see what Ms Taylor would present me with. And I have to say that I enjoyed it very much.
I warmed to Drew pretty much from the off. I sympathised and indeed empathised with her own struggles to fit in at school and how she was endeavouring to make her transition into adulthood, balancing conformation with retaining her own identity and individuality. Which, lets face it, is pretty much the whole message the book left me with at the end. But I get ahead...
Other characters weren't quite so good for me. Some of their interactions left me a little dry but I am not sure if that is due to my age and corresponding distance from what the youth of today thinks and does so I let those feelings go. Easy to do as the story being told was enough to keep me going.
The story itself was very well plotted. It included all the requisite twists and turns, secrets and lies expected of the genre but delivered in a slightly easier way to follow. It would definitely suit adult readers new to the genre for this alone. But at the same time it was gritty enough to keep me on my toes, guessing throughout. Even I, a hardened reader of this sort of book, didn't have it all worked out ahead of the reveals. It had me turning the pages like a mad thing and I pretty much read from start to finish in only as many sittings as life allowed me with every break I was forced to make leaving me hankering to get back to it.
The ending left me with plenty to think about. I can see pros and cons with quite a bit of what was happening. Obviously some of the things that were described were completely over the top and definitely morally and socially unacceptable but, on the other hand, for the extreme cases, maybe a toned down, more safely delivered option... who knows? Definitely a good book for discussion both by old and young adults. Indeed discussion between them could also prove interesting.
All in all a good solid read that kept my attention throughout and left me satisfied at the end. What more could I ask for?

wow, this is going to be a hard book to review without giving away any spoilers because it is just so twisty and action packed with full of exciting characters and plot. I really enjoyed this book and it was a very different read for me! This is CL Taylor's first YA novel. I love her usual thrillers and this one had just as much action and set my pulse racing just as much as her adult novels do. This book has a slightly dystopian feel about it and is set in the near future. Don't let the dystopian feel put you off though, I could recognise everything in this book and it made for some familiar feeling and ` familiar setting but with CL Taylor's plot twists and a very uncomfortable reality.

This book follows Drew and her quest to help her brother. Drew is a fabulously strong female lead. She fights for what she believes in and finds some incredibly clever ways to get her own way and to get exactly what she wants. She doesn't make friends in real life easily because she values her independence so much and i found this really relatable and also very admirable. Her bother Mason is a character in this novel but we don't get to know as much of his back story as we do Drew's therefore I didn't feel as much of a connection to him or the other characters in the novel as much as my connection with her.

The adults in this book are definitely not to be trusted and that's what makes the kind of classic YA characteristics in this novel. I love the fact that we can solve to hate the authority figures here, especially since this is mainly set in a school so we can all hate the OFSTED inspector! Some of the plot lines of this book are definitely not for the faint hearted just because we don't know exactly what The Treatment is but we know its not a nice thing! And because we love to hate the authority, some may find the reasons why we hate them fairly shocking. But I loved all the dark and twisted bits of this book, they made for excellent reading and kept me on the edge of my seat right until the bitter end!

If you love CL Taylor's psychological thrillers already then you will definitely enjoy this read. If this is your first of her books then you are in for a treat! I would definitely recommend this book for older readers and you should definitely prepare yourself to be challenged, to be entertained and to be thrilled by this awesome novel!

The Treatment By C.L. Taylor was a decent enough read that I really quite enjoyed.
I also took into account when reading, that this was aimed at a much younger audience than myself, so I have been slightly lenient in my rating as I feel there were things I noticed that would probably go over the heads of this books intended demographic.
I would say this is a read my twelve and thirteen-year-old boys would really enjoy, Myself being a mum in my forties, well let's just say I enjoyed this, while not overtaxing my brain overmuch.
So The Treatment is about sixteen-year-old Drew Finch and her actions when her younger brother Mason gets expelled from yet another school and sent to Norton House, a residential reform academy.
so After being followed by the mysterious Dr Cobey and receiving a strange message about the treatment, her brother is receiving while residing at Norton House. Drew decides to investigate herself by getting herself admitted as a pupil.
So as I said this was an enjoyable read that does what it says on the tin.
There were no great surprises here, This was more, the underdog saves the day type of tale.
Drew herself, well I felt a bit sorry for her bullied by her ex-best friend (which there was no real explanation for)
Does one thing wrong and then gets shipped off to a reform academy, I know she needs to be for the story to work but jeez, her mum, hardly mother of the year actions are they.
Drew herself seems to be quite a resilient girl with a bit of a kick-ass attitude, more so maybe than I would expect from someone who's been bullied so relentlessly.
But anyway she seems a very likeable pragmatic type of girl.
She teams up inside Norton with her roommate Mouse and the two try to coordinate an escape while steering clear of there other roomy Jude.
Jude is every mean girl cliche you can think off, horrid just for the sake of it. Shes even worse when Lacey, Drew's arch nemesis turns up like a bad penny and the two join forces to torment Drew.
I did find both Jude and Lacey to be slightly one dimensional in their behaviour.
So anyway to cut a long story short Drew strives to save the day, while rescuing her friends and brother along the way.
This is done in true kick-butt style with only the one extra unsurprising twist along the way.
So the wrap up of "The Treatment" I felt was a little bit rushed, I would have liked to have seen things eked out and explored in a little more depth.
But besides that, this is a great addition to the Young Adult/teen genre-leaning more heavily towards the Teen age group.
So I would definitely recommend this to the younger generation, It is a fun action packed clean read, that is well written and is sure to catch imaginations.
thank you to NetGalley, the publisher and the author for providing me with an Arc of "The Treatment" By C.L. Taylor this is my own honest unbiased opinion.

I was going to rate this slightly lower as I thought the ending perhaps simplified a little too much but upon pondering my feelings about this book I realise that as its a YA about teenagers then my reaction was perhaps too harsh. I'm clearly not the target market for this book but I have to confess I found it a riveting read that had me eagerly turning the pages .
Essentially it's the story of Drew a young girl whose life has suffered huge upheaval. She's always been the 'good girl ' but losing her father and then seeing her younger brother Mason taken away sets her on a new path. Meeting someone with disturbing news about her brothers situation sets in motion a chain of events that sees Drew incarcerated in the same rehabilitation institute as Mason . Drew isn't there accidentally though no, she's there for the sole purpose of getting Mason out !
This story painted an unpleasant picture of what could , would or even will happen. Like many I've heard of the infamous Pavlov dog experiment but this author takes that idea and runs with it to give what is initially an ambiguous storyline that quickly escalated into a horrifying idea. We frequently hear of students suspended from school due to acting up or antisocial behaviour but what if they could be permanently altered making them model citizens ? On paper and in theory that sounds desirable but would we question the practices ? After all does not imagination and creativity stem from thinking or acting beyond the norm ? This story raises many questions leaving uncomfortable thoughts and fears behind .
I did like Drew but she seemed to attract the wrong type of attention with history unfortunately seeming to repeat itself. We do meet supporting characters who play a part but I never really felt any connection to them. After such harrowing events that truly turn Drews world upside down I did find the ending a little too pat . There is a resolution that seemed to happen awfully quickly and it just didn't satisfy me completely. Still it was an entertaining read and thought provoking to boot .
Recommended for teenagers and young adults
This voluntary take is of a copy I requested from NetGalley and my thoughts and comments are honest and I believe fair

This was branded as a YA book, but as I love Cally Taylor's books I thought I would read it, and I was pleased I did.

When Drew's younger brother was taken away to a special school to be 'reformed' she was delighted as he was being a pain, but when a lady doctor turned up with a note from him to say that he was being brainwashed, and then she was immediately killed, Drew was horrified and vowed to get him out.

The only way to get him out was to get herself sent to the school - and that's where her problems began.

A quick but very enjoyable read.

The cover and intro make this one look way better than it is in my opinion. The book just seems to drag. I kept reading in hopes something would happen. The idea of Drew risking herself her younger brother is noble, however that was really the only memorable thing about the main character. This book just did not hold my interest.

When I first requested this book I was not aware that this was a young adult book, I just noticed the author C.L. Taylor, whose book The Escape I enjoyed very much.
However this book grabbed my attention so I still wanted to read it. This book was addictive, every few minutes I had spare I found myself reading this. I think this is down to how likeable the main characters were Drew, Mason and 'Mouse' I found myself routing for them. The concept of this book really peaked my interest and has made me want to find other books with this similar theme.
I did really enjoy this book however due to this being a young adult book I did find myself wanting a bit more drama.

Drew Finch's brother has been sent away to a correctional school for young adults with behavioural problems.

When one of the doctors finds Drew and passes her a message that the treatment isn't one for the better, it's one of brainwashing, she acts out deliberately and finds herself placed in the same facility.

Whilst there she finds an ally in Mouse, and together they try and find Drew's brother and unravel the conspiracy that's hidden behind the walls...

As a YA book I think this is absolutely cracking. It's fast paced, engrossing and has a great plot. This is my first read by C.L Taylor (much to my shame, for I have The Escape on my TBR pile), so I'm a great way I had no assumptions when reading this.

I read it in 2 sittings, and found myself really desperate to find out how Mouse, Drew, Mason & Israel would fare. There were characters that were brilliantly depicted as bullies (such as Lacey), and it had a great plot that will really capture the YA audience (and this adult!).

I'm of the Point Horror era, and devoured these books when I was younger. Taylor has written a story that will engage teenagers and will have them hooked on the twists and turns that this book will take them on.

I would like to thank Netgalley & HQ for an ARC of this book in exchange for a review.

I feel a bit dazed, I'm not completely sure what happened in real life for the past couple of hours, as I was completely absorbed in The Treatment. I suspect there is a chance I may have nightmares tonight, as a result of what Drew and Mason had to go through in this book.

I'll admit I was a bit worried whether an author I absolutely love was able to write a Young Adult book that I would also enjoy, being quite a bit older than the YA audience, however other than the characters being a bit younger, the situations were gripping, the writing draws you in and hopefully my breathing my return to normal.

I was hooked on The Treatment, absolutely none of it played out how I expected and I absolutely could not put this book down once I started reading it. You are warned - clear time in your busy day to sit and just read this book.

It is so different to almost everything I have ever read, the only thing I can think of is I felt some similarities to The Demon Headmaster series, but given its been perhaps over 20 years since I read those I don't recall the specifics other than the same general feeling I had reading those. The book is terrifying but not in a horror sort of way, just that its chilling what can happen to the human mind.

I really can't say much about the plot, as it moves as a quick enough pace that I may accidentally give away spoilers. Suffice to say Drew is one special young woman, and I really liked her, whereas most of the other characters I wasn't sure on. It is the sort of book where you really aren't sure who you can trust.

The Treatment is C.L. Taylor at her best, its been ages since I was this hooked on a book to the extent that I didn't even think about doing the many other things I should have been doing! i was only interested in the story and didn't even notice the time going past which is a good indication of how absorbed I was.

Thank you to Netgalley and HQ Young Adult for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.

I've been a fan of Cally Taylor for a while, having read and been gripped by her adult fiction. So I was excited to read her first YA offering - 'The Treatment' - and it had me hooked from the start.
Drew is depicted as an underdog from the start. Bullied relentlessly by a horrible group of girls, living with her somewhat downtrodden mum and overbearing step-father. So, everything is fairly crappy for Drew, and then she's given a note by a random woman claiming to be a doctor who worked with her brother, Mason. Unsure whether she believes the doctor or the note, she begins to investigate the 'academy' where her younger brother has been shipped off to. It is easy to like and support Drew as she acts purely out of love for her brother, equally her newfound friend Mouse is both feisty and vulnerable.
This book was full of drama and tension and kept me turning pages and anticipating what would happen next. I'd even go so far as to say it's my favourite of Taylor's books. However, (I know, no one likes a 'however', but...) about two thirds of the way through, this book became maddening, because I anticipated that when I reached the end I would discover there would be a sequel – it just felt like the book was running out and too much was unresolved – and I didn't want to have to wait for more. As it turned out the book finished with 'The End', but in typical Taylor style, she still left me guessing as to whether it was over.
This was an action-packed, creepy, thrilling read that really got me in the mood for some more chilling October reads.

The treatment by cl Taylor.
“You have to help me. We’re not being reformed. We’re being brainwashed.”
All sixteen year old Drew Finch wants is to be left alone. She's not interested in spending time with her mum and stepdad and when her disruptive fifteen year old brother Mason is expelled from school for the third time and sent to a residential reform academy she's almost relieved.
Everything changes when she's followed home from school by the mysterious Dr Cobey, who claims to have a message from Mason. There is something sinister about the ‘treatment’ he is undergoing. The school is changing people.
Determined to help her brother, Drew must infiltrate the Academy and unearth its deepest, darkest secrets.
Before it’s too late.
A absolutely fantastic read. I loved drew. She was my favorite character. How she tried to save her brother mason. Wow didn't expect that. Must read. 5*. Netgalley and hq.

A fab, fast-paced young adult fiction book full of good characters and twist and turns. I thoroughly enjoyed it and hope there is a second instalment.

Drew and Mason are pretty much normal teenagers, one rebelling against the world, the other one keeping head down and out of the way. When Mason is sent away to the Reform Academy, everything changes. And when Drew gets the mysterious message in the hands of Dr Cobey, things get plain dangerous.

Drew decides to be brave and see for herself what sort of treatment this revolutionary school delivers and gets herself enrolled through basically making herself seems like a bad egg. She soon realises there is much more to that place then strict regime and therapy.

Great story that never really stops with Drew as the main character, which you can’t help but like and spur on throughout the book.

Thank you to the author and NetGalley for access to this book in return for this honest review.

When 15 year old Mason Finch is expelled from school for the third time his parents decide to send him to a residential reform academy far away from their home. They are desperate to stop him going off the rails and live a worthwhile life, obeying the laws of society. His sister Drew is never any bother at all and feels that Drew has taken it too far. She feels relieved that he is going to get the help that will teach him life lessons that will make him more mature and show him the error of his ways. It will be his wake up call.
Sometime later she is handed a note from Mason by a stranger in the street. The young lady introduces herself as Dr Cobey and she tells Drew that she had helped Mason at the academy. She is very obviously frightened and when she runs off Drew is startled. But when Dr Cobey meets a horrible end minutes later, she begins to take the letter seriously. It is in Mason’s handwriting and reads “You have to help me. We’re not being reformed. We’re being brainwashed.”
She tries to find out more about the academy, but with only minimal success and a map to help her, she decides to make a plan that will involve a daring rescue of her brother. But first she must get herself into trouble so that she is also sent away from home, only then can she hope to rescue her younger brother and liberate him, exposing the residential reform academy as a facility used to brainwash young, vulnerable scholars.
‘The Treatment’ is written for a target audience of Young Adult readers. It is fast paced and exciting but is also very far-fetched. This is C.L. Taylors debut Y A novel. She has developed the idea over time and fitted the writing of it in between the writing of her addictive adult thrillers. I liked the family content and the fierce loyalty both of the children had for their missing father. I think it will appeal to younger readers who may well like the action-packed storyline and the conspiracy theory content. They may also like the heroine Drew, who is fearless, courageous and brave. As always with Cally’s novels, the storytelling is very good and the characters diverse and interesting, but some are very seriously wicked and full of evil intent. The story concludes in a bit of a hurry and I felt the plot could have been given more time to capitalise on Drew’s achievements, focusing on how good has overcome evil a little more.
I would like to thank NetGalley and publisher HQ Young Adult for sending me this novel in return for an honest review. I enjoyed reading it and it’s a solid 5/10 from me.

C L Taylor continues to enthrall readers books just keep getting better and better.
Drew and Masons' father disappeared without trace 8 years ago and was assumed to be dead. Mason began to demonstrate rebellious behavior and his mother was persuaded by his stepfather to send him to a residential rehabilitation school.
What follows is a disturbing journey for Mason and his sister but it's exciting at the same time a real page turner you will find difficult to put down.
A well deserved 5 stars.

I have read CL Taylor's books before but this is a first under the ya banner . I love a good dystopian book and enjoyed this one . Felt it could have been a bit more mysterious but it was an easy page turner and one I finished over two days . My thanks to netgalley and the publisher for my copy

First things first: this is a YA novel (the first one from C. L. Taylor) and it’s a fairly long time *cough* since I’ve been anywhere near being classified as a young adult. So, I’m not the target audience. I do enjoy some YA fiction, though, and I thought this sounded intriguing.

This story is about Drew Finch, a sixteen-year-old girl whose brother, Mason, having been a bit wild and badly behaved, has been sent away to a mysterious “Residential Reform Academy” in the wilds of Northumberland, where he will undergo some form of unspecified treatment to show him the error of his ways and turn him into a responsible member of society. Then Drew is handed a note from Mason by a desperate woman, Dr Rebecca Cobey, who is promptly killed in a hit and run. Reading her brother’s terrified plea for help, Drew knows she has to do something to save him...

You really do have to suspend disbelief massively, from Drew conveniently finding on the internet a network of tunnels underneath the school; to the fact that the whole place is so incredibly secret there’s almost nothing about it online, yet a short spell of misbehaviour is apparently enough to get sent there; to a previous character turning up at the school for no reason which is ever explained other than to make Drew’s life even more difficult. And why on earth does Dr Cobey risk her life to get a note to Drew, rather than going straight to, say, the police, or even the press? While some characters are sympathetic, others are pure pantomime villains with no apparent redeeming features at all.

This seems like a lot of criticism but it is a good read - as long as you don’t take it too seriously. The “Treatment” itself is a sinister idea, particularly when you’re not yet sure what it is, and the idea of a suspicious programme to turn wayward youths into solid citizens definitely has a lot of mileage in it. I enjoyed it but felt constantly reminded that I’m not this book’s target audience. Maybe if I was sixteen I’d have enjoyed it more.

The ending is very much left open for a sequel and I would imagine there is likely to be one.

When Drew's little brother gets shipped to the RRA (residential reform academy) she is a tad relieved. He is troublesome, irritating and all the things little brothers can be, more so since their father left/went missing/died? years ago. When a doctor warns Drew her brother is in danger and the academy isn't what it seems Drew embarks on a mission to save her brother but at what cost?

I read this in one sitting, whilst the book is YA (Young Adult) it absolutely can be enjoyed by adults, I sank it in about three hours. Drew starts digging into what the academy is but despite many successfully reformed kids there does not seem to be a lot of information, if any, on the social medias. When Drew sees "evidence" with her own eyes she knows she has to get into the academy. The story starts off giving us insight into Drew's life, her family home set up and her chain of thought on how to tackle the situation. It is a tense build up and split into two parts, the before and infiltration, the after and what life is like inside the academy. In some parts the hair starts to stand up on the back of your neck, things aren't right, the plot is teased out page by page to discover just what is happening.

I didn't want to put the book down as I had to know, where is this going, what is happening, who can I/she trust? Thankfully yesterday was a day off so I could zone out and devour the story. It is a steady paced read in that the reader is took on the journey with the main character, having to go through the plan stage by stage creating distrust and holding your breath at parts. There are themes that cater for the teen reader, childish bullying, friend turned enemy, bitching, who fancies who but it doesn't detract from the bulk of the thriller theme. It is enough for the aimed at audience and relevant whilst not detracting from the main story that will engage the adult reader. To be honest, I think even the themes for the younger readers will spark old memories within the mature reader and it wasn't so long ago that I couldn't empathise with Drew or the issues raised.

I have liked all of Taylor's books I have read, I was a bit apprehensive going into this one, when an author branches into new territory as a reader you do worry. Will they be able to capture the new voice and writing, can they engage the reader as they have done in previous genre? Absolutely unfounded worries, Taylor has shown she can turn her hand to YA as well as psychological thrillers, 4/5 for me this time. Now to wait *patiently* for her to get the next book out, be it YA or her normal genre I cannot wait. Thanks so much to Netgalley for providing a review copy, you can buy your own now from all good retailers.

A fast paced and gripping read that's extremely difficult to put down. I loved the premise of a reform school with a special treatment program that transforms wayward and rebellious teens into model citizens. I kind of wish the author had gone a step further into invasion of the bodysnatcher territory but I found this very enjoyable and engaging.

Despite hearing a lot of great things about Taylor's adult thrillers this, her first venture into YA, was actually the first book by her I've read. I had been meaning to pick up her other stories but it was the usual case of too many books too little time. When I spotted this one on NetGalley however I just couldn't resist. A book about a reform school that's brainwashing troublesome teens, count me in. It's just such a fascinating premise and I love all things about brains, memory and behaviour.

The story follows 16 year old Drew Taylor whose younger brother Mason is sent to the residential reform academy by his mum and stepfather after he's expelled from school for the third time. Initially she's a little relieved her brother isn't causing trouble and she can get some peace and quiet but then one day she's followed home from school by someone claiming to work at the school. Dr Cobey has a note for Drew from her brother which says that all is not as it seems, the treatment is changing people and he's scared.

When no one listens to her concerns, Drew is forced to take matters into her own hands and investigate. What she finds leads her to believe her only option is to infiltrate the school to get her brother out, but can she reach him before it's too late.

It's a really fast paced and enjoyable read and I found myself flying through the pages, so much so in fact, that I finished the whole book in a few hours. The author definitely knows how to tell a gripping story and despite it being a little predictable in places it held my attention through a couple of long and noisy train journeys.

I loved the idea of this slightly sinister reform school which takes wild and uncontrollable teens and somehow transforms them into perfectly turned out, mindless drones who want to serve society and look down on their former friends. There is something inherently creepy about someone who loses their personality and is completely single minded and almost fanatical, with no sense of humor or mind of their own. It kind of reminded me a bit of Invasion of the Body Snatchers and in a way I do wish the author had taken it further down this path and made it that little bit more creepy and sinister but I suppose it's supposed to be a thriller rather than out and out sci fi / horror.

In terms of the characters I have to admit that I wasn't entirely convinced by Drew. She begins the story as this shy and quiet goody two shoes who doesn't have any friends in real life and is bullied at school then all of a sudden seems to transform into a completely different person when she finds out her brother could be in trouble. I suppose it is possible but it didn't quite ring true to me which is a shame because I thought the other characters were incredibly well crafted. The staff at the school were particularly well done, superficially nice but with something harder lurking underneath.

There were a few other things that niggled at me a bit as well. I felt like certain aspects were resolved a little too easily, passed over too quickly or just too coincidental to be entirely convincing. I do understand why the author does it but personally I prefer things to be a little less clear cut with a few more twists and turns.

Despite these niggles however I would still recommend you read this book. It's rare to find a really good YA thriller and this is definitely a good YA thriller. If I hadn't been travelling to events I probably would have devoured the whole thing in one go.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with an ARC. As always all views are my own.
