I really liked this. Actually did make me giggle, felt very relatable and likeable, but also you really empathised with the characters. Some pockets of astounding writing - the funny bit of the Now is the month of Maying to the greengages bit. Got a bit confused by characters periodically but generally kept being a book i’d come back to.
