Clare Chambers -> Small Pleasures

I'm warm, its raining lets review this bad boy.

PLEASE LOOK UP A LIST OF CONTENT WARNINGS BEFORE READING THIS BOOK JUST INCASE OK THANKS STAY SAFE XX

this book follows a journalist named Jean Swinney in the late 1950 as she investigates a reported case of a virgin birth.

i lent this book to a freind a couple months ago and am yet to get it back which is kinda shame becasue a absolutely loved it and want to reread it.

the only real critique - which isnt really that big of a critiques - is that this book was pretty heavily marketed as an LGBTQ+ book which yeah, it is, but you only really find out within like the last third of the book and it isnt really a focus point of the book as a whole, just felt kinda off.

Aside from that though, i loved this book way more than i expected to, loved the mystery of it and the characters are all likeable. the reveal at the end pulled out an audible gasp from deep within my being.

overall, 4.5 stars :)
