This is the journey of a girl whose parents are at opposite ends of the political spectrum and going through a divorce. I found the father to be utterly revolting, but I enjoyed the tale. I thought it was true to form for a dysfunctional parental relationship, although the ending turned out to be a bit idealistic for real life. It's a slow-moving book, but I was kept interested by the family dynamic for the whole of the book. I kept hoping Daley would tell her dad to get lost.
