Big Girl, Small Town by Michelle Gallen

3.0

An interesting, but not wholly satisfying slice of life set in Northern Ireland. Jellah has a lovely, interesting narrative voice, that is, at times, quite discomfiting, since she, herself is not quite comfortable in her own skin. The pace of the story is rather slow, but that fits with the mundane, but wholly entertaining details of her life at the late-night fast food joint in her small town. Nothing overly profound to be found, but a small mystery that is never wholly resolved seemed a let down in the end.
