This is the Current Big Thing so, of course, I really wanted to hate it and, indeed, the narrator is incredibly irritating at first. But she mellows (or, more likely, the author forgets to make her quite as annoying) and I enjoyed the redemptive story despite myself. I also liked Glaswegian setting, a surprisingly rare location for bestselling novels.
Argh, it's been way too long since I caught up on your blog! So many new ideas :)
ReplyDeleteLike you, I have a natural aversion to something "everyone" is reading. But then sometimes I think it might be nice to actually be a part of a reading community! This one is worth it then? It's not too "and they all lived happily ever after"? Whenever I see 'heartwarming' all over the reviews I get nervous... Bx
