little scratch Review

Thank you to Netgalley for this ARC.

Little Scratch is a stream of consciousness novel and is therefore a short and quick read. I read it in one sitting and was sucked into the narrative and all the main character’s thoughts. I enjoyed the format and the writing style. The layout of the pages of the ebook was very confusing, though — there were lines around and sometimes through the text which made it difficult to read. I hope this gets sorted out before publication.

The main character’s thoughts and experiences around office politics were very relatable. I have definitely spent time in offices very similar to this one.

The thoughts on rape are also [so depressingly] relatable. I am sure that many of us have had very similar thoughts about something that happened to us, and to what extent it “counts” as sexual assault or rape. These thoughts recur numerous times through the day recounted in this book, so keep in mind the appropriate trigger warnings.

Overall this book is perfect for a lazy Sunday afternoon with a cup of tea, or an evening after a busy workday. Would recommend.
