not bad at all
The story itself is easy to read and, at times, really funny. There were parts that really made me laugh, and parts that were a little more serious. The novel focuses a lot on main character Robin’s emotions, which can often be quite up and down, and I liked that these emotions were not something to be excused or apologised for. However I wasn’t sure that Robin’s mental health problems were just due to her being lonely without a man in her life; this felt a bit too ‘simple’, and Robin was also so preoccupied with worrying that Lyla might be negatively affected because she’s is a single mum which is a shame. I suppose that’s what Robin feels is the opinions of society and I’m sure many other people sadly feel this pressure too (I don’t have any kids so I guess I can’t comment on this), but it feels a bit outdated.
