REVIEW: Countless by Karen Gregory

When Hedda discovers she is pregnant, she calls a truce with her eating disorder until the baby is born. However, once the baby is born Hedda, who is used to counting numbers, realises that some things in life are Countless.

I really loved Countless. Many books about mental health are difficult to read, but this isn’t one of those. It’s written with sensitivity, and although Hedda counts numbers throughout her story, not once is one of those numbers explicitly mentioned. It is an emotive story of love and choices, and is easily one of the standout debuts of the year.

Stars: ★★★★★

My Week In Books (6th May)

I have a confession to make: I broke my book buying ban after three and a half weeks. Let's see why…

I bought Countless by Karen Gregory and The Opposite of You by Lou Morgan. I just had to though. They're so pretty! Steph also bought Ink by Alice Broadway for me when I mentioned I hadn't read it. Thank you Steph!

I read Between the Lies by Cathy Macphail, and I'm about halfway through The Fallen Children by David Owen.

Finally, I bought The Heart Collector by Melinda Salisbury, and I'm so excited to read it!
