 I ADORED this book. The writing style, the messy characters, the humour...it was all perfect. I was gripped as I tried to sort out what on earth they were going to do and how the hell they'd get out of this mess. A bunch of confrontation-avoidant people with a lot of love and angst in their heart. and TONS of reflections on love and relationships. 
 A book about bisexuals, being bisexual, with all the messy and endlessly funny anxious existentialism of being a 20-something in a heteronormative world. The book that made me realise I've been seriously missing out on the powerhouse of Irish authors writing queer literary fiction.
