The story of these two females and the relationships they both have is one that draws you in and leaves you touched by both stories. The title 'How to belong' was what caught my eye, it's a question that all people have sometimes, and this book was something people could relate to aspects of their own lives as well as allow them to reflect on what their relationship with the place they call home. That level of engagement with a fictional story is something truly beautiful - it made it such a special story to me because of that.

The writing style itself took me a while to get into and that is why I would say 4/5 stars, as a few literacy techniques could be used here and there just to give this novel a little bit more of a kick, however the plot and characters made up for this slight downside. I did enjoy having two female characters as the main characters, as it made the story gentle but fierce.

I will 100% read another novel by this author in the future!
