Just the quickest of posts to say that I really, really, really wanted to like this book. For the Squeeze song, and for the fact that it looked so very promising from its synopsis.
And instead I really didn't. Some stories were just not interesting enough for me (I'm probably a bad person, but the shallowness and uncouthness of some of the characters really got on my nerves), and others were just too much (the abortion one, for instance).
A shame. Possibly, given the expectations, the most disappointing book of the year so far.
