5 siblings who share the same father but have different mothers are brought together by their negligent father. They build a relationship, in rather bizarre circumstances, whilst they explore and try to develop a relationship with their father.
I enjoyed the family dynamics - the needy sister, the domineering elder sister, the layabout youngest brother. Their need for something more from their father was understandable, yet heart breaking as he is so obviously not up to any form of responsibility. The main 'plot' involving the useless boyfriend was almost by-the-by, and perhaps made it all a little unbelievable. So it is full marks for the characters, emotions and social commentary - but a little less for the fantastical plot line.
