I read this for my book club. I would say it's well written and quite easy to read but I found the characters very unlikable. It definitely offers insight into life in Ireland, especially regarding abortion rights and I think the author did a great job at highlighting that. But sadly overall, the lack of any redeeming features in the two main characters makes this feel like a rather forgettable read.
