I enjoyed this in the end but found it quite slow and the first 200 pages could be done away with! 

There were a couple of characters I really enjoyed, Nell and Ferdia. I will miss them!

Loved this one, similar to how I found The Break, I loved how it ended but I want to know what Nell is doing now, and if she got that letter!?

Didn't know what to expect from this book but I loved it - a funny, emotional look into the weird and wonderful dynamics of families and the flawed people within. Very accurate portrayals of obsession and anxiety as well.
