Beautiful book, It sadly never connected with me but that does not take away from the story.

Part two wasn’t exactly what I was expecting and was a little infuriating. Definitely a timely read and I enjoyed all the music and film references.

It was honestly a chore to finish despite thinking I could relate to the characters. I am looking forward to Caledonian road but god this feels like a Irvine Welsh wannabe.

I was expecting something more  exciting to happen and  I felt maybe I am too young to grasp a lot the the  references made to bands of the 80s and  90s
