Good Eggs is a debut novel from Rebecca Hardiman. It is a story set in Dublin, Ireland and follows the life of three generations of an Irish family, the Gogarty’s.
The writing is easy to follow, however, did find the Irish lingo a bit difficult to understand at times. Also, I found the pacing to be a little slow at the beginning but it definitely picked up, with the last half of the book having more action. liked how the storyline alternates between different events for the three main characters, even if at times some of the storyline felt a little unbelievable.
The characters had their flaws and may not have been all likeable at first but the more I learnt about them my opinion on most of them changed. I say most as even by the end I still wasn’t a fan of Kevin. I found him to be self-centred, and he seemed too caught up in his own problems and felt like he was somewhat taking it out on his family. My favourite characters was definitely Millie. She was a strange one but her antics made the book enjoyable.
I may have not been blown away by this book, but I can confidently say that it was a good solid debut novel. It was a quick light hearted and entertaining read which was ideal to pick up, after a long and busy day. I would definitely recommend this one to anyone who like reading about dysfunctional family dramas.
