After The Red Ribbon (one of my all time favourites books), I’ve been so looking forward to Lucy’s next piece of work. And this didn’t disappoint, I adore the way clothes are a character in themselves, I adore the way she looks at identity and what makes us ‘us’ (who we are vs what we show), I adore the charm and magic and beauty and all round warmth Lucy can write onto a page and I adore the people she creates. If you’ve read the RR, certain moments will feel particularly special (and I urge you to read it), the character references from Red Ribbon are so delightful, but even by itself, this book is beautiful and charming in a very special way ❤️
