drannieg's review against another edition

medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? No

3.75

Great in places, but hard to sympathise with any of the characters. There were hints that Kath, the protagonist, wasn't nearly as silly or passive as she thinks herself to be, but they were... uncertain and probably the stuff of English degrees. Dated at times, and I did not like the casual use of rape as a term of endearment (repeatedly and across time and countries). But overall enjoyable?
