Brilliant story, characters and narration
What a find. Absolutely loved the central character, the relationships were beautifully drawn and the depiction of the late noughties hilariously accurate. Such fantastic narration too.

Satisfying
Really enjoyed it early on, then it felt like it was starting to lose pace and one point I wondered where it was going or if there was any real momentum to the story at all, but it picked up again and I found the ending more satisfying than I had imagined that I could. Narration was spot on. Overall would recommend.

SO GOOD
Funny, moving, addictive, brilliant! CO’D’s best book yet - can’t recommend enough. Deeply satisfying plot, the time jumps/reminiscence structure executed perfectly- captures so much of that late teens early 20s period

Gripping
Gripping story and good narration, but the Derry accent was terrible. I would have preferred another narrator for these parts.
