Today’s review is about A ROOM CALLED EARTH by Madeleine Ryan. It’s an introspective contemporary fiction that spans about 12 hours of a woman’s life from a night out to the morning after. The author is neurodiverse and the implication is that the main character is as well.

ARC Review: Orchid Child by Victoria Costello
