Too kind! Thank you Scarlett x
Yes, it appears I have somehow mustered the nerves to write an ANNA KARENINA reimagining.
But this is my third novel, so I felt it should show some ambition.

And this is the best compliment I’ve got this year Rick!!
One of the best things I've read this year. Loved it!
You are too kind Rónán thank you!
I loved this. Funny and real and interesting.
It’s my publication day!
What a time to be alive, indeed
@sceptrebooks.bsky.social
So kind Rick, thank you!
This is one of the best things I have read this year.
@jennymustard.bsky.social's novel of a young woman's early student life in Stockholm as she desperately wants to escape unhappy years of bullying in a small town and find meaningful relationships is exquisitely observed.
Loved it.
