From the cover, I was expecting a lighthearted, sweet read but in reality, this novel was about a young woman struggling with acrophobia. Ellie was a keen gardener and social influencer but found it almost impossible to step outside her front gate. Her garden was her sanctuary and she didn't want to leave.
"The World at My Feet" was a compelling read. I was heartbroken for Ellie from the start and as I gradually learned about her past, this feeling only intensified. Her panic attacks, crippling anxiety and tendency to catastrophise events were realistically portrayed.
