I sped through this character narrated joy. It's funny, thoughtful and relatable (in an occasionally confronting ways). The characters are flawed and occasionally awful, but in a truly realistic way. It feels like a complete insight into Sophie's life at a turbulent time. She's not always likeable, but who is? We see the how and the why of her present situation and are equally baffled by her and sympathetic to her. All in all well balanced and feels very truthful.
