I absolutely adored this. I think this is the first book club book that I have been head over heels with. 

Incredible sense of real life and never quite getting to the place you want to be. The metaphor of the mistletoe will stay with me for life. 

Elements of Nancy Mitford, Barbara Trapaido and Dodie Smith to the writing. Witty, sardonic and sad. Loved it.
