** I was given an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review **
This book was so beautifully and honestly written; it was also evident that an extensive amount of research and care has gone into the writing of this book. The topics - domestic abuse and homelessness - are so important and I am glad that their discussion was done so compassionately.
I am not sure enjoyed is the right description; I have never read a book that has made me feel so tense and anxious but the authors ability to evoke these emotions is impressive and made for an incredible book.
