Some of you may know Stephen Chbosky for another popular book he has written – The Perks of Being a Wallflower. I’m not a big Netgalley user, but it does come in handy for blog tours and such.

I took part in a promotional competition by sharing a post on Twitter about the upcoming release and I was chosen to get an early access copy of the book via Netgalley! I have to say before I go further that my review is an honest one. Today’s book review post features a book I very gratefully received from Orion Books in October last year.
