A gorgeous feel-good romcom that brought back all the feels I felt when I first left home. Issy is an adorable, warm and relatable character. She's a talented artist who suffers from depression and often feels out of synch with the world and her peers. But she falls in love with the world and everything that's out there . . . as well as her stunning flatmate...
Making It is the perfect coming-of-age-when-you-leave-home novel. And I wish I could have one of her knitted chinchillas . . .
