I found the main character in the first half of the book SUPER hard, I almost stopped several times. The second half however was really good! Complicated and interesting and well paced.

I generally enjoy Rooneys style and this is no different. Not my favourite but I continue to enjoy the mildly depressing approach to relationships.

This was really challenging to read but added a perspective to my view of the second world war I don't often consider.
