Not bad! Bought it in a Waterstones in Highbury and Islington, I was sort of tipsy and wanted to buy a book so I picked this up. I've enjoyed it but I don't have any strong feelings about it.

The book captures the frailties of living in the 21st century perfectly, where every character is flawed and imperfect, trying to make do by adapting sometimes the worst characters possible. I love the exploration of how one can emerge from their childhood traumas, and move forward from using them as an excuse for their behaviour to breaking the cycle of abuse. The writing is flawless and so well paced, loved how the writer adapts to the voice of characters subtly throughout the pages. Enjoyed it more than I thought I would.
