There is a lot going on in this book, and I am not sure if it all holds together – it is an enjoyable read if perhaps you avoid pushing the narrative too hard – for example Marty suffers from anxiety and yet does all these things with an ease that 17 I certainly wouldn’t have found, also there are some layers of the back story that never get unpacked - like what is the real issue behind Marty’s Mum’s seeming rejection of the UK - these are left hanging in the air and for me this resulted in a lack of a properly rounded sense of the people and events.
