Oh my gosh, how excellent was this book!

A beautifully written portrait of very damaged individuals, it explores themes of love and betrayal to shattering effect. Luke in particular was wonderfully drawn - the reader feels such sympathy for him, despite his actions.

The last third of the book packed such an emotional punch it actually left me reeling. So many surprises, all so deftly woven together that none of them were signposted pages ahead.

There are elements of a thriller to The Judas Scar but it's much more than that - it's a tender exploration of how our experiences and traumas damage us and shape our lives. I loved it.

Absolutely recommended - than you so much MN!
