Just Playing House by Farah Heron

4.0

 I really enjoyed this! I loved Nikhil and Marley. This book definitely dove into heavier topics (cancer, racism in the media industry) but I thought it was done really well especially when explaining the BRCA gene and the mastectomy process. This was an unfamiliar topic to me. I’m glad that Marley had such a supportive group between Nikhil and her friends during her recovery. 

Marley is portrayed as such a strong woman and like the book says, even strong women need support. I’m glad she was able to find resources of support outside her family that had dealt with the same circumstances.

While I did love this, it did feel a little slow pacing wise at times which is definitely why it took me a bit to get through it. 

Also loved the author’s note at the end. <3

Thank you to Forever and NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for my honest review
