Situated in the United Kingdom, this slice of life book has many relevant references, and also shows self exploration, even in the toughest times. An excellent read, I would recommend this book to anyone who is looking for something new and different from the everyday book. Though it starts off a bit slow, after a couple chapters, it really gets going. Rate 8/10 would recommend and maybe read again.
