Emotionally Weird by Kate Atkinson

5.0

I think this is the best Atkinson I've read yet! Completely hilarious, with a bit of a mystery that slowly unravels and then spits out at the end. It's set, of course, in Scotland and focuses on Effie, a young woman working on an English degree. She has some crazy friends (including Bob, the slacker boyfriend who really only sleeps and gets high, whom she's constantly trying to figure out a way to get rid of) who are just hilarious and an eccentric bunch of literature professors who all have tendencies to have accidents and get hurt.returnreturnThe way the novel is portrayed is in the form of a story - Effie is telling the story of what her life is like when she's at University to her mother in hopes that her mother will share the story of her own life. Effie's mother (Nora) lives on a secluded island off of the coast of Scotland and seems to be running from something. returnreturnAll in all - if you like stormy nights on a secluded island, reading about literature students, and hilarious writing - then check this one out!!
