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.

Eating disorder :

bulimia

Racism - meet a asylum seeker character in the Direct Provision system in Ireland, more about that being racist than the characters being nasty/inconsiderate of her.
