Been telling everyone I can about this amazing read. Frustrating and gripping and properly unputdownable. Also a terrifying image of what Britain could be #ukya #bookstagram #nightoftheparty

No secret I'm an Almond fan, and his latest doesn't disappoint. Vivid, big-hearted exploration of the subtle beauties of the world, loss, and friendship. Great stuff #bookstagram #ukya #bookstoread
Great to see some #NotYetDark love in The School Librarian magazine. I'm risque, me #bookstagram #review #ukya
Still blows my mind and makes my heart grow two sizes that Eren is in classrooms, being read and enjoyed and explored. Thank you, brilliant teachers!
