The Girl and the Grove by Eric Smith
4.0
3.75* A lovely exploration of identity and mental health with a touch of magic wrapped in a brilliantly unique story.
This wasn’t at all what I was expecting but it was such a pleasant surprise. I was very much here for having a cast of characters so passionate about the environment and absolutely loved seeing SAD represented, as it’s something I’ve not seen discussed in fiction before.
I instantly warmed to the characters and the multiple relationships explored but I’m not sure I totally got on with the writing style. There were a few spelling mistakes and oddly structured sentences here and there, which did pull me out of the story at times but overall, this was a heartwarming, original, easy and thoroughly enjoyable read.
