Honest to god, I haven’t audiobooked anything so relatable in such a long time. I think I struggle to contextualise my adverse childhood experiences sometimes, and whilst so many of Katriona’s experiences are different from mine, the impact feels familiar.

Addiction, violence, poverty, school as a safe space. Eurgh. My heart.
