After losing their jobs, Rob and Louise go through a rough patch. It was hard to watch the two struggle -- Louise turned to school while Rob's depression grew deeper as he failed to put effort into finding a new job. I found Rob to be especially frustrating as he held onto the past and inevitably pushed Louise away --but I can understand where he’s coming from. The art style was fun and it did a good job of capturing life’s unpredictability.

Too much British slang and profanity for me to understand, and I did not particularly like the art style or plot. I do think it's a matter of personal preference and not a lack of merit in the book, however, so perhaps someone who enjoys British slice-of-life style comics would really like it. I just found it hard to relate to the protagonists, constantly smoking, being obsessed with soccer, not willing to work after being laid off, etc.

I enjoyed the British slang and out-of-job working class money desperation. I could relate to the guilt over going out for Thai with friends. I couldn't relate to wondering whether you're only good at one thing - pottery assembly. But I liked that mix of relatable and somewhat foreign.
