It Ends with Us — Colleen Hoover

Just finished reading It Ends With Us by Colleen Hoover. I went into this as more of a fact finding mission. My Instagram algorithm had me think everyone had this book down as their holy grail and I wanted to find out why. I was quite prepared to snub it…

Shuggie Bains — Douglas Stuart

Just finished reading Shuggie Bain by Douglas Stuart. When I first started reading this book, I knew it was going to be hard going. I knew it was about a sensitive young boy growing up in poverty in Thatcherite Glasgow so I could in some way picture the poignant scenes…
