I really enjoyed this one. Jess's post-university aimlessness and simultaneous love and frustration with her family were relatable, the horror to humour balance was great and I loved the ending. Unfortunately I found the middle of the book a little unfocused and I wish the girlfriend had been a stronger character (she felt a bit like a prop meant to complicate things for Jess and I kept forgetting about her).
