I really enjoyed what felt like a coming of age story for Sophie. Having found herself making a few errors in judgement we begin with Sophie in debt and in an unhappy relationship. 

I had expected this book to be funny as the author is one of my favourite stand up comics and I did find humour in some aspects which was very well placed. However this book is not meant to be funny and deals with a myriad of difficult topics in a very real way. 

I was rooting for Sophie to stand up for herself and begin to work things out throughout the entire novel. 

I especially loved the ending.
