1) The drawings are clear and not to overstuffed or hectic (this is a plus!)
2) Our hero is sorta likeable but also sometimes a jerk (nothing I can relate to but fascinating – just kidding)
3) The dialogue is familiar yet fresh and rarely false
4) Romantic intrigue and disappointments are played out pretty convincingly and often with painful honesty
5) The clothing and hairstyles are right on – satisfying!

In this second novel from young fiction writer and acclaimed poet Nick Laird comes this sympathetic ear on the nature of friendship, romantic relationships, vanity, envy, and the inherent messiness of life. When David Pinner introduces his former teacher, the American artist Ruth Marks, to his friend and flatmate James Glover, he unwittingly sets in place a love triangle loaded with tension, guilt, and heartbreak. As this love affair escalates David must come to terms with his own blighted emotional life.
