It took me a while to get into this book but once I did I couldn’t put it down. I found some of the language and dialogue quite… stiff - that really took me out of the story. I also felt like I was reading a self help book or being lectured at times which I didn’t love, that’s not to say the book didn’t have a good message - it just seemed a too obvious. Despite all that, I laughed and sobbed so Matt Haig clearly did something right!
