Set in Ireland - as is the current trend - a girl goes from the family dairy farm to university. At home is her needy, mentally unwell mother and uncle, at university she meets a needy, mentally unwell friend. Could be all a bit bleak but there is joy in the lead character's discovery of life beyond the farm, realisation that no one has the answers and acceptance of her family.

I did feel at one point that it was going to take a turn for the surreal with the 'dreams', but that angle seems to fizzle out - probably for the best. An enjoyable book, highlighting that the 'Snowflake' generation really don't have it as easy as the media like to portray.
