I'm so glad I decided to read this one, I never knew it was set in Glasgow and it came as a pleasant surprise, the characters were loveable, the story just flowed so well and I loved the first person narrative - it was like living in Eleanor's life with her and having access to her thoughts.

The story itself deals with alcoholism, loneliness, childhood trauma and the way it all ties in at the end is perfect.

I recommend this wonderful, unpredictable and thought-provoking read.

(Hope she got with Raymond)
