Satisfying portrait of modern Britain
4 stars
A very readable book. I enjoyed it more or less from cover-to-cover. I like that the stories are mostly pretty independent of each other but interlaced just a little a bit. I also like that we get to see the interlaced parts from two or multiple points of view, from that aspect it's a little like Bret Easton Ellis's Rules of Attraction. You hear one protagonists feeling of a relationship/interaction and then later hear the other side's perception of it, this is most obvious in the after party between a former pupil and teacher. Overall, well worth reading.
