Unfortunately, I have not been able to read and review this book.

After losing and replacing my broken Kindle and getting a new phone I was unable to download the title again for review as it was no longer available on Netgalley.

I’m really sorry about this and hope that it won’t affect you allowing me to read and review your titles in the future.

Thank you so much for giving me this opportunity.

This book wasn't perfect, but for the most part I enjoyed it. I don't think I've read a book set in Ireland before, but I loved the tranquillity of it. You can't help but feel sorry for Nollaig and the horrible situation she's in, coupled with the lack of a support system except for one friend. I enjoyed the setting of the church and her growing relationship with the vicar. However, I started to get bored towards the end and found the slow pace, despite the constant twists and turns, to be tedious and just wanted it to be over.

I received a copy from Netgalley, In exchange for an honest review*

This story is relatively short, but has so much packed in to it. Two main narratives, following the stories of Stephen and Nollaig. Two 15 year olds from Ireland, Nollaig with an alcoholic da and pregnant; and her best friend Stephen who has a mysterious past.

A story of healing and facing your past, present and looking to the future.
