really liked it

I've got that bubbly, happy feeling that happens when I find a fantastic new-to-me author!

Claire Fuller is a genius with words and the character Jeanie from this book is one of the truest, realest POVs I've read.

𝘜𝘯𝘴𝘦𝘡𝘡𝘭𝘦π˜₯ 𝘎𝘳𝘰𝘢𝘯π˜₯ tells the story of 51 year old twins Jeanie and Julius, who live in an old cottage in the country with their mother.
They're dirt poor and removed from society but when their mom dies they must learn to adapt and fend for themselves.

It's very character driven and atmospheric.
The plot moves at a kinda slow pace but it's an amazing story. Sometimes inspiring and sometimes upsetting. 4.5⭐
