Room

Room is my favourite book!! It makes you feel every emotion and you get to dive into how two individuals experience trauma differently yet they still understand what has happened to them and get to share that experience with each other, which not many who experience trauma get to do. As this a story about a mother and her son, the reader learns how a mother's love and desperation to give her child the childhood he deserves can sometimes be the only way to survive.

The author has mastered the voice of Jack brilliantly in the sense that his character thinks and acts like any child would if they had experienced trauma of that extent.
