A truly fantastic read exploring the difficulties presented by envy of others in modern day society. The narrative follows characters constantly seeking validation of their own lives through comparison to others around them. Dunbar reinforces the message of seeking perfection in what you have and highlights the importance of considering the struggles others are also facing. A truly humbling/grounding novel I would encourage everyone to read for a motivational boost which evaluates the positives we can often overlook in our busy, demanding day to day lives. I am so proud of you Claire!
