I liked this less than The Pursuit of Love but still enjoyed it. It was very funny and I loved seeing more of the Radletts and Fanny. I especially enjoyed Jassy and Vict. Davey was a lot of fun but his support of Boy was disappointing.

It was definitely a lot more problematic than PoL and I didn’t like the grooming storyline or how it was handled at all. I also couldn’t really like Polly after how she treated her dead aunt and parents. Boy was disgusting. It also felt very very thin on plot.

Overall really enjoyed but would have liked it more had it just been a different family.
