I loved the story yet the voice didn’t really fit the story that well. It was a lovely story!

I’ve read a lot of books by Jaqueline Wilson and this is one of my new favourites.

The character of April is very interesting, complex and relatable and the way Aprils birth is so clear in her imagination is very intriguing.

This book leaves me with a feeling of relief at April, but still leaves some unanswered questions.

5 stars, would recommend for ages 10+.

This book deserves a sequel! 💖
