Lots of the reviews for this call it funny, I get it but I just didn’t find it funny, just desperately sad in a way that really makes you think.

It charts relationships between a child and parents both when young and as an adult.  I think all the main characters in this are pretty unpleasant but you sort of see why and how.

A bleak but brilliant read.
