I really enjoyed this book; it may just be the best I've read this summer. It can be difficult to pull off interconnected stories with a huge cast of characters, but Oisín McKenna did an amazing job. I swear I'm not just saying this because it's set in London, but there was a Zadie Smith-esque quality to the exploration of each character's personal trials and tribulations. I especially loved Rosaleen's story and kind of wish I could read a whole other book about her life.
