Lovely story, carefully laying out issues like insecurity, boulimie and starting over whilst life carries on. However there are so many characters and the storyline switches in time that I had trouble keeping up some of the time.

Ik het begin even lastig door te krijgen wie nou wie is, handigst wat langer achter elkaar te luisteren dan korte stukjes. Daarna super leuk boek, jammer dat het uit was. Paar lijnen die nog wel vervolg verhaal zouden kunnen krijgen! Voorlees stem heel prettig, very ‘tik’ accent on the t’s

Loved this book full of real characters. What touched me was the how sensitively the issue of Bulimia was handled.

Big TW for eating disorders, if you are actively struggling I'd give this one a miss. Otherwise: The children acting like grown-ups and the grown-ups acting like children - so funny, clever and painfully accurate. Amazing characters, dialogue and themes - from inappropriate crushes to period poverty amongst refugees. Loved it!

Lots of characters, but all well defined! I enjoyed their journey. It was like saying goodbye to family friends when I'd finished it. A nice read.
