  • Plot- or character-driven? Character

  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes

3.5

I would've given it a 3 mainly because of the weak plot and how it sometimes veers off from the main storyline, lots of unnecessary characters and details, containing a lot of 'very British' colloquial phrases which are sometimes difficult to understand. However, I decided on a 3.5 because of how uplifting it is, the overall idea, and, of course, the humour it contains! It was a good read overall. I loved the 4 main characters and how Richard has beautifully created them!
