This book feels in some ways surrealist, even though much of it really is not, which is honestly very unique and compliment to the author. She paints a grimy city with struggling and often highly flawed inhabitants, but it is a very vibrant picture. I struggled at times with some of the loose ends and definitely liked some storylines better than others (and wanted MORE from those), but it's definitely worth a read. It also feels so very British.
