I took my time reading this book and I'm SO glad I did- I was a bit wary after reading other reviews that I would find the amount of characters overwhelming but I think this just made me pay more attention and give the characters the time they deserve. The descriptions were so vivid and vibrant and grotesque, and the conservative rural Scottish setting worked so well with the storyline.
If you love characters like Maeve Fly, you will absolutely adore Nancy!
Between the cover and the descriptions of this book as queer, punky horror, this book would absolutely be something I would run to buy if I saw it on a shelf. This is the kind of book that would make a marvellous movie, with its fast pacing, huge personalities, and the way it forces you to reflect on small-town mentalities and facing the past.
