Don’t get me started on the treatment of the non-binary character (their inclusion at all as the only non-woman in the ‘girl woman other’ POV trios feels deeply transphobic) and using their trans woman partner as a mouthpiece for additional transphobic views. Or the caricature of a gen z radicalised girl my age as insufferable and weaponising identity to get her own way, yet somehow missed her tumblr education on transness. It’s a minor aside to characterise her in that way, but to present anyone as lying about disability to access better accommodation is so harmful and contributes to disgusting rhetoric around disabled people as frauds.
To the blurb that says that ‘this is Britain as it is now,’ you couldn’t be more wrong.

Twaalf karakters die zo verschillen van elkaar en zo tot leven komen op het papier. Het is echt ontzettend knap. Hoe de schrijfster zich kan inleven in haar karakters en hoe ze allemaal anders denken en doen. Een van de beste karakter boeken die ik tot nu toe heb gelezen.
Zo’n mooi portret van verschillende generaties en perspectieven in de samenleving in Engeland.
Oh en bizarre plottwisten in de verhalen. Hoe verzint ze het!
Geweldig boek, geweldige schrijfster.
Note: lees even de content warnings van tevoren!!
