review 1: This was a fun, breezy read with a mix of humor and tragedy. I was a bit thrown by the changes in POV - in most books this is managed by each character having his or her own chapter so you know whose head you are in. Wonderful characterization. The ending was a little too tidy for my taste, however, it's what to be expected from this type of genre. The last line was a gem. Did not expect this revelation and I enjoyed it's sweetness.
review 2: I imagine people who read this book will either love it or hate it. I loved it. It was bittersweet, charming & funny in a British way & I love me a good Brit-lit book. Loads of "wanker" & "bollocks" all over the place. I read one reviewer who gave it 1 star because she couldn't understand British slang. If you don't know ... morewhat "starkers" means or "taking the mickey/and or piss'' then 1) you need to read more, 2) you have no imagination & 3) have you heard of this little thing called Google? Jeez. Though the book is about a family who has to deal with one of their relatives suffering from mental illness which is a serious & sad topic, the author didn't write it seriously nor sadly. She wrote it with humor & odd characters & threw in loads of Morrissey mentions as there are a couple of Morrissey addicts in the story. I'll gladly read anything else this author writes as she put a smile on my face for the few hours it took me to read this book. less
