Has anyone read this? My step mum gave it to me, but I am struggling with it. I am not a Kate Atkinson fan anyway, hated When Will There Be Good News, but she said this was completely different, but again I am finding it depressing

I read it a while ago.

I quite enjoyed it - it was unusual.

I read it a while ago and loved it, but then I'm a Kate Atkinson fan. Her books can be strange. It reminded me of The Time Traveler's Wife.

I'm a big KA fan too and enjoyed this book. I still preferred her first two books though :D

I liked her earlier books Loz, but I find that poor little girl constantly dying very depressing

After she died the fourth time, by gassing herself I decided enough was enough.

I chucked it across the room and am now reading a rubbish, but much cheerier chick lit thing
