What a stunning debut. I read this in a day during (very aptly) a summer heatwave, and I couldn't put it down.

It's hard to believe this is a debut, because the writing is utterly stunning and the way in which the different storylines intertwine is so well done. I loved the messiness of it all, the complicated relationships, and how it showed life decisions you don't often see represented in books.
