Oh my goodness, this book. 5 stars is not enough - it was incredible. It was a harrowing account of how close normal families can be to homelessness and struggle. I feel incredibly privileged to have absolutely no idea how the benefits system in this country works, but reading this book has made me question everything that I know about it, and how it effects those that rely on it everyday. This book has made me feel grateful for everything that I have in my life, and I won't stop thinking about it for a long time.
