I have to admit the form of some of this book took me a while to get into. The lack of capital letters drew my attention away from the story initially but once I got used to it, there was no stopping me.
A very interesting and complicated relationship unfolds here and so much is unsaid. I always wanted to know more. I like the way it actively brings up feminism and has challenging conversations that women face within the book. It clever, razor sharp and makes you think.
Being an opera fan too, this element also interested me.

A Very Nice Girl by Imogen Crimp is a strong debut novel about a young woman struggling with her career and relationships and how to navigate her life.

This book is tender, profound and devastating, whilst being witty, droll and unflinching. An incredibly exciting new author.
