  • Plot- or character-driven? Character
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.0

A grim and intelligent exploration of the loneliness and isolation that is commonly part of ageing. But this book is not bleak. It is laugh out loud funny and, in the end, hopeful.
