Thank you to UQP for sending a free review copy. In no particular way does this influence my opinion. 

This book came to me at the perfect time. It was the story I didn’t know I was looking for. Showed up at my door one day, didn’t know what it was about, thought I’ll have a quick read of the first chapter to get a feel and oh what a lie that was. I just devoured this within a day, I couldn’t put it down. ⁣⁣

I’m really unsure how to word this review other than wanting to take people by their shoulders and scream “READ THIS BOOK PLEASE!” ⁣⁣

It follows themes surrounding relationships between parents, parental figures and friends and romantic interests. We discuss themes surrounding homeless and that home isn’t a house you live in but but somewhere you feel happy and safe. We see a stark difference between Sophie and Issac’s parents. We get to watch Isaac and Sophie’s relationship develop featuring themes of courage and kindness ⁣⁣

There is some mention of domestic violence, just to aware of you feel comfortable with reading the topics
