Report
The Jump is one of the most emotive and intense books it's been my pleasure to read, and despite the weighty issues it explores, and the inherent sadness within its pages, ultimately one of the most satisfying. A brave, yet sometimes difficult, subject wonderfully handled. Prepare to be moved. Jackie Farrant Raven Crime Reads
