|summary= I fell into this novel from the first short chapter, set in 1983, at Lancaster University – perhaps because I grew up in the 1980's. The central character and first person narrator, Cameron Spark, comes across as vulnerable, shy and unassuming, and at first, likeable. As the novel progressed, however, I did find him less plausible and a bit wet and annoying. He falls in mad love with Bex right at the beginning of the book, who is a much more interesting character, being a feisty, feminist, fox-hunting activist and saboteur. Cameron is clearly besotted and therefore biased in his affection for Bex, and you can sense that this is going to get him into deep trouble from the start.

|summary= Minette has not had the best experience of neighbours. It's hard when you have a new born. They're not known for being quiet as a mouse at all times and occasionally, well, occasionally they scream through the night. So she's glad when the nasty couple move and are replaced by Cath and her two kids. A fellow mother! An ally! Surely she will be more understanding?
