Having not read anything by this author before and after reading the first impression of this book I wasn’t sure what to expect.
We start in this book in a mental health unit in the UK, in a group session with one of our main characters Georgia, as the session comes to an end our second main character, Julius is introduced.
You are then taken through the back stories of both these characters. Georgia - a young girl who is dealing with her father losing his job and the death of her sister, and ends up becoming the face of a political activism group. And Julius - son of a wealthy family in Nigeria, heavily involved in politics, who has everything he could want, but his family don’t accept his close relationship with his best friend Duke so he is sent off to boarding school in the UK.
This book is written in a way that you can’t help but like the 2 main characters. The author has handled a lot of difficult topics in his writing very well and this story is a reminder that mental health can affect anyone and everyone in different ways.
A very thought provoking book, addressing some relevant issues in the world today.
