Over the course of this story, we follow both Natalie and Kit's perspectives, but we also get a historical perspective from an unknown third character. a b c Kettle, Emilia (28 February 2022). "BBC: This Is Going To Hurt full cast list". Denbighshire Free Press . Retrieved 5 March 2022. Okay, so this was not what I was expecting. My expectations were strangely met in a way I was not expecting. I just read this entire novel this afternoon, so I'm going to need a moment to process what I just read. What in the world did I just read???? This Might Hurt a Bit was so hilarious yet so sad that I couldn't wrap my head around it. I felt so bad for Kirby, not only for the worst thing that ever happened to him, but also for his hilariously terrible day. I mean, this story is so crazy that there's no way that this could be reality, but at the same time, it could be. This Might Hurt a Bit is like one of those crazy high school movies you might watch on Disney Channel, but with the language and the drugs. Needless to say, I did enjoy This Might Hurt a Bit exponentially more than I expected to. An entertaining, captivating thriller. I loved the ‘cultish’ vibe of Westwood as well as Natalie’s quest to ‘save’ her sister.

Cooke, Rachel (8 February 2022). "BBC One's This Is Going To Hurt is cold, mean and – crucially – not funny". New Statesman . Retrieved 21 February 2022. This Might Hurt was a mixed bag for me. Still, I give it props for some elements of originality and strong writing. I absolutely loved Stephanie Wrobel’s debut, Darling Rose Gold. When I saw she had a new book coming out, I was frantic to get my hands on it. It is obvious that Wrobel has an affinity for writing tales about different types of child abuse. However, This Might Hurt did not live up to her debut. Overall, this is a novel that is very hard to put down. Stephanie Wrobel has a way of pulling you into a narrative and not letting you go, she is a very talented author in my opinion. This one really makes you think especially about the human spirit and it’s one I’ll certainly keep reflecting on.

I also found the dueling timelines in this book to be very confusing and distracting at times. I was actually more than a third of the way through the book before I realized who all of the characters were. If the intent was to include a surprise element, I don’t think that it was very successful. I also really enjoyed the historical perspective of the little girl, growing up the way she did and what she chose to do with her life.a b c d e Sherwood, Harriet (18 February 2022).

We have three points of view: Natalie, the responsible older sibling, Kit, her younger sister who has left for a wellness retreat on a remote island for six months, and an unknown (at first) female who we are introduced to as a child being abused by her domineering father. It soon becomes apparent as to who this child is, and although those sections were the most difficult to read, they were the most compelling of the story. I found Kit and Natalie to be rather one-dimensional.
