Reviews

The Make-Believe is a page-turning and generous book that is intensely concerned with what it means to be human. Hannah Murray is a masterful storyteller. -- Rebecca Watson An extraordinary memoir - propulsive, immersive; like nothing I have ever read before. I read it in one day and thought about it for weeks afterwards. -- Dolly Alderton I was deeply moved and compelled by this vital, brave, memoir. Murray’s account of her experience is intensely open-hearted and lyrical, depicting just how porous the boundaries and realities of our lives can become. A stunning achievement. -- Sophie Mackintosh

The premise is fascinating, but her execution is what makes this story uniquely compelling. -- Naoise Dolan
